The Thinking Person's Big Bathroom Book of Eternal Quotes and Obscure One-Liners from the Beginning to the Present to the End

The Thinking Person's Big Bathroom Book is unlike any other bathroom book that has come before it. It is an erudite, thought-provoking collection of real, paraphrased, and imagined quotations attributed to some of history’s most famous (and infamous) public figures and cultural icons. As a scholar of world history who came of age during the rapid social and technological change of post-WWII America, Dr. Elliott masterfully weaves together hundreds of historical references with some of his own personal recollections, crafting a compelling narrative infused with witty wordplay and subtle social commentary. From philosophical ideas concerning the origins of the universe across human cultures—to religion, war, politics, pop culture, and everything in between—this bathroom book will inspire readers to explore in greater depth the social and historical contexts surrounding the events alluded to by these enduring quotations and clever one-liners. Of course, before you go and do that...don’t forget to wash your hands!
