The two mottos of the Bathroom Readers' Institute are evident in the pages of Instant Genius: "Get smart," and "Have fun." As the creators of the wildly popular Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader series, the BRI has 20 years of experience translating those mottoes into fun and informative books. But, aware that not every reader is a bathroom reader, they've created this definitive collection of bite-sized bits of knowledge that cover a wide variety of topics from the seemingly ordinary to the obscure and mind-bending. Instant Genius will take the reader on a fun and fascinating trip through the essentials (and non-essentials) of history, science, geography, the arts, pop culture, mathematics, and more.
