Super Pop! Pop Culture Top Ten Lists to Help You Win at Trivia, Survive in the Wild, and Make It Through the Holidays by Daniel Harmon
Super Pop offers a maximum-pleasure, minimum-effort way to become smarter, happier, and a little bit more likely to survive a shark attack. This hilarious and wide-ranging guide sorts nearly 500 different bestsellers, blockbusters, and underappreciated gems into quirky top ten lists, like “How to Outwit Death: Essential Survival Tales,” and “Wax on: Wise Old Men Who Can Show You the Way.” With new insights on old classics and fresh ideas for jaded eyes, Super Pop makes sense of pop culture—and then puts pop culture back to work! (Zest Books / HMH $16.99, June 2013; ISBN: 978-1-936976-36-2; paperback, 304 pages, illustrated, Ages 14+)
