Never Read a Library Book in a Sauna
Never Shower in a Thunderstorm: Suprising facts and misleading myths about our health and the world we live in by Anahad O’Connor
Raise your hands if you have heard any of the following: Don’t swim until 45 minutes after you eat, soda causes cancer and yawning is contagious. The truthfulness behind that and many other rumors is explored in this book.
O’Connor uses careful research and clever writing to determine that you shouldn’t shower during a thunderstorm, soda does not cause cancer, and you can go swimming right after you eat a meal. As for yawning, it really depends if you are a Democrat or not. Really. I can’t make this one up!
This is an entertaining and light read, excellent for car trips. I read bits of this aloud during a car ride to my husband and son to the delight and entertainment of us all. I highly recommend it.
As for not reading a library book in the sauna: it makes the glue in the binding melt and the book will fall apart. Please don’t do it.
