#13 Milton's Teeth and Ovid's Umbrella: Curiouser and Curiouser Adventures in History

I read Milton's Teeth and Ovid's Umbrella: Curiouser and Curiouser Adventures in History by Michael Olmert. I actually finished it before I left Santa Fe, but I didn't have the time to blog about it. Basically it's the history of various things that we take for granted like playing cards and umbrellas. It was an ok book - some of the topics were interesting and some were not... there were some entries that had better info in the endnotes.
