About this title

Synopsis

Get the book MTV VJ Martha Quinn calls “clever and cool!”

Part music trivia challenge, part comedy show, and part literary lovefest, I Like Big Books and I Cannot Lie is a one-of-a-kind ride through the classic rock and pop hits of the ’70s and ’80s—with a hilarious bookish twist.

Whether you’re a music lover, trivia buff, author, musician, or puzzle fan, this “rock-and-roll joy bomb” will have you laughing, singing, and shouting answers in your car, break room, or book club.

Inside this totally rad retro romp:
• Over 100 fun facts about legendary bands, songs, and their literary connections
• Over 100 clever quiz questions, from fill-in-the-blanks to crossword-style clues
• 23 hilariously remastered song lyrics reimagined for book lovers
• Quiz questions like:
Q: If Kajagoogoo wrote a book, why would they decline an interview?
A: They’re Too Shy.
• Pop culture trivia like:
Q: Which music video from Toto has the band playing atop a stack of books?
A: The answer is in THIS book!

Featuring rewritten lyrics such as:
“I like big books and I cannot lie / You other authors can’t deny…”—you’ll be howling with laughter and humming along.

“Inspired, and at times laugh-out-loud brilliant. If you don’t like this book, you’re Out of Touch.”
– Joe Bissen, copyeditor, Star Tribune, and award-winning author

Makes a perfect gift for fans of classic rock, ’80s music, pun-lovers, writers, librarians, and your punniest friend.
