## Description

National Geographic author Michael Farquhar uncovers an instance of bad luck, epic misfortune, and unadulterated mayhem tied to every day of the year. From Caligula's blood-soaked end to hotelier Steve Wynn's unfortunate run-in with a priceless Picasso, these 365 tales of misery include lost fortunes (like the would-be Apple investor who pulled out in 1977 and missed out on a $30 billion-dollar windfall), romance gone wrong (like the 16th-century Shah who experimented with an early form of Viagra with empire-changing results), and truly bizarre moments (like the Great Molasses Flood of 1919). Think you’re having a bad day? Trust us, it gets worse.

Review: Fascinating history factoids - This book is loaded with fascinating facts about world history. Some stories are gruesome (lots of beheadings and worse way back when) and some are downright laughable. Love the author's writing style. A very enjoyable and enlightening read.
Review: Negative Historical Facts - I learned a lot of interesting history that I never knew. History lovers should enjoy this read.There are,some tales that are trivial, mist tell of a history not well known

*by P***R on October 4, 2025*

The ultimate waiting room book. This is my go to book for the doctor's office. Short brief stories that are very interesting and digestible in short spurts. Easy to set down when interrupted and even easier to pick up and re-engage.
