Talkin' Bout Your Generation: Book of Everything Ever

Michael Ward

Hardie Grant Publishing, Aug 2, 2011 - Social Science - 256 pages

The handy quiz book that helps you to know everything about every generation that ever lived ever. Are you a baby boomer feeling out of touch with today's modern dudes? I mean why do those Gen Ys wear their underpants so high and their jeans so low? Perhaps you are a member of Generation X, stuck like the proverbial meat in the sandwich between the we'll-never-retire! Baby Boomers (the top piece of bread) and the 'we're-breathing-down-your-neck' Gen Ys (bottom piece of bread). Or maybe you're just a Gen Y who is confused by anything that didn't happen, like yesterday. For one generation to understand another…for all generations to live in perfect harmony, we need more than good communication. We need this book. With over 1500 quiz questions and occasional, dubious 'facts', the Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation Book of Everything Ever, if read cover to cover, is equivalent to a five year Masters Degree in Popular Culture. But substantially cheaper. Inside you will find questions and (answers) to Special Subjects ranging from One Hit Wonders to The Weather to Australian Film. Also packed with hilarious Made Up Facts, amusing illustrations and bogus graphs and stacks of quiz games based on segments from the show such as Sounds Like History, Fadtastic etc.
