'Questions You’re Not Supposed to Ask'
by Tony Williams
New Holland, RRP $24.99)

Funny, irreverent and factual to the core, 'Questions You’re Not Supposed to Ask' provides enlightenment on the taboo topics of the world. The aim of the book is to arm the ordinary person with the sort of knowledge that The Powers That Be do not want them to have and so release the individual from the chains of ignorance.

Open these pages to answer the questions we all care about – sex, relationships and marriage, the human body, money, governments, taxation, grammar – and those you should have asked, tried to ask or in fact did ask, but never got a proper response to.

Some of the questions refer to bodily functions (Why is sex so much fun?), some debunk government falsehoods (Why do we pay tax?) while others delve into the supernatural (Is there more to life than meets the eye?) and others simply explain how things operate (What is physics?).

Bursting with information ranging from life’s big questions to fascinating trivia, this an entertaining read from start to finish. The ultimate stocking-stuffer for the member of your family or freind who has everything. Just published this week
