In fact, \"the new volume is in every way a continuation of \u003ci\u003eAreas of My Expertise\u003c\/i\u003e, except in the ways it's clearly superior.\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Onion AV Club\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 2005, John Hodgman published his first compendium of Complete World Knowledge, \u003ci\u003eThe Areas of My Expertise\u003c\/i\u003e, a handy volume of fake trivia and made-up facts. Hodgmania was born. Virtually overnight, John Hodgman was whisked from tweedy obscurity to the high ether of minor celebrity. And from his strange new vantage point as a Famous Minor Television Personality, Hodgman realized that there is some world knowledge yet to be documented. And so he returned to exactly where he had left off--namely, page 256 of the paperback edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Areas of My Expertise\u003c\/i\u003e. And he brought with him: \u003ci\u003eMORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE.\u003c\/i\u003e Which, naturally, begins on page 257. Like its predecessor, \u003ci\u003e More Information Than You Require\u003c\/i\u003e consists of brief articles, overlong lists, frighteningly complex charts, and beguiling narratives on new and familiar themes such as: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e THE PAST (because there is always more of it) \u003cbr\u003eTHE FUTURE (because they say there is still some left) \u003cbr\u003eMOLE-MEN (including a list of 700 Mole-man names) \u003cbr\u003eGAMBLING, THE SPORT OF THE ATHSMATIC MAN (including hermit crab racing) \u003cbr\u003eCRYPTOGEOGRAPHY (including Canada) \u003cbr\u003eHOW TO BE A FAMOUS MINOR TELEVISION PERSONALITY (Hint: Go on television) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAND NOW, the relatively pocket-sized and inexpensive paperback edition includes even \u003ci\u003emore. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE, updated to include the very latest in implausibility. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e PLUS!: This paperback edition includes a special self-expanding fold-out edition of THE TAXONOMY OF COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE, which you have probably never seen before because it has been carefully hidden.

He is the author of three \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling books--\u003ci\u003eThe Areas of My Expertise\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMore Information Than You Require\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThat Is All.\u003c\/i\u003e After an appearance to promote his books on \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Show\u003c\/i\u003e, he was invited to return as a contributor, serving as the show's \"Resident Expert\" and \"Deranged Millionaire.\" This led to an unexpected and, frankly, implausible career before the camera. He has performed comedy for the president of the United States, at a TED conference, and in a crypt in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. Finally, he is the host of the popular \u003ci\u003eJudge John Hodgman\u003c\/i\u003e podcast, in which he settles serious disputes between real people, such as \"Is a hot dog a sandwich?\" and \"Should we tell our children the TRUTH about Santa Claus?\" He also contributes a weekly column under the same name for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e. He is currently working on a memoir, \u003ci\u003eVacationland\u003c\/i\u003e, which will be published in October 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.93 x 8.26 x 5.48 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 03, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47295769673977,"sku":"9781594483646","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/KuiWQ_yRmR9781594483646.webp?v=1769206148","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/more-information-than-you-require-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
