Synopsis Humorist John Hodgman has written a continuation of his very popular previous book, THE AREAS OF MY EXPERTISE. In MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE, the page numbers themselves continue from the earlier work. Hodgman has referred to himself as a purveyor of "false facts." Indeed, in the current book, some of the fun comes from treating the ridiculous with high seriousness and arranging nonsensical and esoteric information into seemingly authoritative formats, e.g., lengthy lists and highly complicated charts. The chapters range from laughably overly wide topics like "The Past" to the very particular "How to Be a Famous Minor Television Personality," which he is.
