I had the privilege of filling in for a Language Arts teacher today. Beside her desk was a well-worn book. If you see a teacher with a well-worn book you need to get a copy for yourself. It was called Scholastic Book Of Lists by James Buckley, Jr., and Robert Stremme.

I took some time and carefully looked through it. It contained foundational facts which are in lists that can help you become a more interesting and knowledgable person. Here are some examples of entries Lists of U.S. presidents, U.S. National Parks, most common misspelled words, types of clouds, and the world's most expensive pieces of art. Here it is listed on Amazon.com
