"For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally complex, excessive, and inadvisable that no one would ever try it. [This book] is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole." -- From book jacket flap.

Brilliant and funny (and practical?) submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on June 20, 2020, 3:47pm Randall Munroe is brilliant and funny. _How To_ will teach you things and entertain you in equal measure. Plus, if you ever need to land a plane from the outside or power your house on Mars, it’s practical.
