First Sentence: Preface: When I was asked to write this book, I remember thinking. It was a good feeling.

Blurb: Philomena Cunk is one of the greatest thinkers of the 21st century, and in Cunk on Everything she turns her attention to our biggest why are there so many books? Wouldn't it be better if there was just one? This is that book — an encyclopedia of all human knowledge, delving into not only life's greatest mysteries but our most important political figures and cultural touchstones. (GoodReads)

My Opinion: A collection of short chapters covering various subjects like literature, politics, sports, and love can be read in any order or skipped entirely or skipped if the subject is uninteresting. The book is perfect for reading or listening, or whenever the mood strikes for a good laugh.

Cunk on Everything by Philomena Cunk is written in the style of Cunk’s popular TV documentaries, where she asks absurd questions and makes absurd observations. The book is full of funny and sarcastic humor, as well as some surprising insights and truths. A fun and easy read that will make you laugh out loud and think differently about the world around you.
