'Hilarious...this book will have you laughing out loud' - Andy Borowitz 'I couldn't put it down. Some of the best writing since SEINFELD' - Jerry Stiller
Product Description
Over 13,000,000 people are currently blogging with thousands being created each day. But what about the blogs you haven't seen, written by the iconic men and women you're dying to know the most intimate details about but who died before the internet was invented? This original take on the biggest literary development since the paperback offers 200 blogs inspired by the most famous minds in history, detailing their hysterical personal revelations, such as: John Lennon's thoughts after meeting Yoko Ono (and her obsession with the Beatles' publishing rights): Marilyn Monroe's annoyance at her new beau 'J', who breaks off their dates with excuses like having to avert a war in Costa Rica: Read Shakespeare on a treatment for a new play about two princes who misplace their horse and carriage and spend the entire play trying to find it or how a stray hot dog nearly derailed Ghandi's hunger strike: There's also the transcript of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's intensely competitive game of "Rocks, Paper, Scissors," to decide who would be the first man to set foot on the moon and much, much more. In this book Paul Davidson proves that matters, proving there's no such thing as "too much information."

Historical Tom Foolery...
30 April 2006
Format:Paperback
My copy of "The Lost Blogs was just delivered this morning. I couldn't put it down.
Jesse James calls his blog "the scribblin space". Alexander the Great calls his "The Greatest Blog in the History of Blogs". Even Jesus Christ loves to have your e-mail "bless his inbox". And who would have thought with all the super computers available at NASA, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would resort to "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to see who would be first to walk on the moon
It looks like famous historical people have no problem getting into the blog phenomenon. I think Davidson is a demented genius. He gets to the fake REAL stories behind the stories. Great read, though I can't help thinking Davidson might be suffering from a case of historical figure schizophrenia.

Just read the book and as expected, I was not disappointed. This guy is just plain funny and has an odd and humorous take on everything. Great read!!

This book is hilarious. If anyone had a doubt about the power of blogging on the course of history all they need to do is read this book and ponder how different the world would be.
I know if Freud had been a blogger I'd have the rss feed to his comment section up on my bloglines.
In a nutshell, Paul Davidson has outdone himself. Absolutely brilliant!
