Description: This book is a collection of many of Paul Harvey's radio series The Rest of the Story in which he tells amusing, interesting, often amazing stories, generally with a surprise twist at the end when he reveals who or what the story is about. For example, one story is called "Futility" and recounts an author's writing about a huge ocean liner on its maiden voyage, deemed unsinkable, and hitting an iceberg as it travels from England to New York, killing thousands on board. The name of the ship? The Titan. The real twist? The novel was written a dozen or more tears before HMS Titanic was ever built. The title of the novel? *Futility*. There are many more stories like this, all about famous people, places, and things. It's a great book, the stories are only about three pages long, and it's wonderful when you only have a few minutes to read something. Buy it!
