THE SMARTEST BOOK IN THE WORLD
A Lexicon of Literacy, A Rancorous Reportage, A Concise Curriculum of Cool
From the brazen, bold, and beloved comic and podcast star Greg Proops comes an electrifying, thought-provoking, and unrelenting collection of rapid-fire references, historical name-checking, Satchel Paige bon mots, and genuine wisdom.
Greg Proops is an internationally renowned comedian, best known for appearances on the hit improv comedy showWhose Line Is It Anyway?, but he's also a font of historical knowledge, a wealth of pop culture trivia, and a generally charming know-it-all. He is the host and star of the wildly popular weekly podcast "The Smartest Man in the World," recorded live during his stand-up performances around the world, during which he equally amuses and awes fans with his idiosyncratic and erudite humor.
The Smartest Book in the World, based on the hit podcast, is Proops' comedic compendium and rollicking reference guide to all the most essential areas of knowledge in Proops' universe, ranging from the noteworthy names of the ancient world and baseball to the movies you must see and the albums you must hear, complete with history's juiciest tales and curious back-stories. With tentpole pieces on ancient history providing the backbone of the book, in between Proops expounds on the merits of poetry and proper punctuation, all delivered with his signature style and Proopsian panache.
In The Smartest Book in the World, Proops gives readers all they need to be the smartest person in the room, and keeps readers laughing along the way.
