No war is radder than the war on drugs. At least from a business and economics standpoint. Tom Wainwright's Narconomics: How to Run a Drug Cartel isn't your traditional how-to book (sorry, budding drug lords), but it...

Apparently, DK writes a whole series of books on Big Ideas Simply Explained, but The Movie Book is by far the most interesting. The others are about boring things like Shakespeare, philosophy, and...ugh...politics. The...

Bonding with your kids is never easier than when there's something in it for you too. Like catching a fish. Witnessing a buzzer beater. Finding a Wookiee. Sure, Waldo isn't the worst dude for you and Mini You to be on...

Is it bad to get my girlfriend a book that will teach her how to cook me delicious meals with balls-on scientific accuracy for Valentine's Day? (Remember, I'm making her an origami Swift Wind too.) Yeah, I think you're...

Whether you're for or against him, MG Anthony has compiled thousands of black lines and white space that will set you up to "show The Donald in his true colors." And I have to say, The Trump Coloring Book does a pretty...

Have you ever wondered if the superheroes, animated icons, and comic book stars you see in pop culture are hiding something--a demure inner self, a secret identity, an ugly mug, James Franco--behind their masks? I haven't...

For some, knowing what they like is enough. Others--the curious, the professionals, the annoying dudes who never quite grew out of toddlerhood--can't just accept that they like it, they have to know why. Richard Betts'...

It's a choose your own adventure book that marries the past, the future, and one of the worst human beings in the history of the world. (See, look on the bright side Wu-Tang Clan: at least it was Martin Shkreli and not...

The Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide hardcover is a once-off printing, a Collector's Edition for all the fanboys and fangirls out there still as hyped up about the game's 5th installment as they were a month ago...

Do You Want to Play with My Balls? The question has Amazon reviewers riled up. Some are riled up because they're sooooo offended that someone would turn satirical sexual innuendo into a children's book, particularly one...

Mo' money, mo' problems, right? Never mind starvation and religious persecution. Homes destroyed by conflict or natural disaster. A paucity of healthcare, education, clean water. We're not talking problems of the have-nots...
