Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A trivia-filled account of our obsession with trivia, attempting to answer that age-old question: why do we find it so hard to remember what we did last week when we have no trouble remembering useless facts?

Publisher's description:

Our love of trivia must reveal something truly important about us. This title asks trivialists the fundamental questions such as: are men more obsessed with trivia than women? Can it be proved that house flies hum in the key of F? Can anything ever really be proved? Is there a perfect fact, and if so what is it?
