Daily Puzzles for the Brain
5 Nov 2009
By David Wilson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A facinating collection - one a day! - of actual historical wierd and unexplained events - a real collection of daily puzzles to bend the brain. A book you will enjoy while having your mind stretched in contemplating the seemingly incredable. I was so intrigued, I immediately ordered four more copies as gifts for friends. Highly recommended!

Life imitating art?
20 Sep 2011
By Laura Weakley
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It is said that truth is stranger than fiction. This wonderfully written and well researched book certainly makes this point clear! It is written in short bursts of energy, which emit excitement to match! So much fun to read! The pictures or illustrations are delightful! Violini conveys factual details from strange phenomenon all over the world, and yet still manages to leave the reader with the impression of her interesting, fun, and spiritual personality.
One can believe each individual report or not. However, after weighing all the evidence presented in this book, if it is in fact the first one you have read containing information on strange, unexplainable (by human standards) events your mind must open to the possibility there is so much we do not understand. Most of what we do not understand, we do not need to be afraid of. I am not certain who once said, "Every time we think we know the answers, we find we only have more questions!"
This book is fun to read, and certainly should make one think. A wonderful book, I highly recommend!

It's a mysterious world
5 Nov 2009
By Ardene
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I love mystery, coincidence and the unexplained.This book is filled with 365 days of them.
My DH(dear husband) and i were driving up the mountain to cross country ski yesterday at Silver Star,BC and I grabbed the book as i left the house and read aloud to him while he drove. I flipped the book open and October 22 was stories about unusual falling rain. This quickly prompted a discussion on weather.
Everyday is a quick, easy and interesting read. This morning i opened Almanac of the Infamous to June 14, X-Ray vision.
Who knows what story i will read aloud today on our way to ski and what interesting phenomenon we will discuss?Almanac of the Infamous, the Incredible, and the Ignored
