"The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll - fascinating book and lots of literature about it.

Answer 2

In my humble opinion, the best book written about knowing stuff is called ' THE WAY THINGS WORK '. It was originally written in the 1950's during the Cold War scare when everyone and his brother were building bomb shelters. But in case the world goes down the tubes or if you just want to know this is a great book. It teaches you how to make soap, vinegar, build a simple lathe and many other wonderful things. When I bought the book it originally came in two volumes. The new book is only one volume. I don't like it, because while it does show some of the things the original version did it doesn't show all of them and the stuff you are lacking if global warming, new ice age, or total war hit us, will not keep you alive any better than the old version. However, if you have both versions and the world does go into the crapper, you will probably; if you survive; be thought of as a living god. You will have knowledge very few other people have and you can use that to start civilization again.

Answer 3

You don't say how old you are, so it's very hard to make a reasonable suggestion. But here's one you might get away with for any number of ages: good old children's books. Not the most obvious one by a particular famous author, but the rest of what she (most of the best are women, to be blunt) wrote, and come to focus on one of the less well known.

This is actually a lot easier than it sounds, either on the Internet or in a bookstore. But let's give one example only: L M Montgomery wrote Anne of Green Gables, that practically everyone has heard about (I fervently hope). But she also wrote a few dozen other books, mostly very good indeed, and probably half or more of them are available at any one time in (a) used bookstores, second hand paperbacks, when you are lucky; (b) new in paperback in editions which are not terribly expensive. But be sure to look for "unabridged," or the like.

Some of the best are published by Dover Publishers, but there are really a lot of them and they are not expensive. Choose them by taking the time to look at several in the bookstore, and you have an interesting subject for a good book report, and a writer about which wikipedia will have plenty to say.
