Review of 'Quirkology : The Curious Science Of Everyday Lives' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I read this over the course of a couple weeks during my 45-minute each way bus commute. The most I had to say about it was, interesting.

It's a book that is at once inspiring and slightly depressing. It's inspiring by showing that science can be applied to fun subjects like the human nature. It's depressing because it talks about the human nature.
I knew of quite a few of the studies described in the book, though as many were new to me. Yet I can't help but think that the reason I knew of the studies was because this book had made them more famous.
All together a really entertaining and somewhat educating read.
