A counterpoint to the infinite must have and must do lists that appear in magazines and on television, this detailed study reveals all the ugly details that are often conveniently ignored. It gives off-putting facts and statistics to quote at holier-than-thou thrillseekers, covering such activities as running with the bulls in Pamplona and having sex in an airplane. Pop culture is similarly addressed, with the most overrated books and movies of all time conveniently listed. So the next time someone insists on swimming with dolphins, reading Kafka in Prague, or skydiving, you can feel better about thumbing your nose and staying in your comfort zone instead.
