Abridged—6 CDs, 7 hours, read by John Hodgman

Borges meets the bathroom book in John Hodgman's bestselling almanac of complete (and fabricated) world knowledge.

Abridged CDs - 4 CDs, 5 hours

"Wonderfully absurd." - New York Times
"Hilarious...Nabokov's Pale Fire as directed by Wes Anderson." - Time Out New York
"If Borges and Ben Franklin got drunk and decided to write a book together, the result might have been something a lot like this freaky 'almanac'." - Tom Perrotta
"Even if you buy this book for the 700 hobo names alone, you will have gotten more than your money's worth." - Dave Eggers
"A book of absurd tall tales, tables and charts spun from the warped brain of John Hodgman...Impressively eclectic." - Los Angeles Times
