Why read it?

1 author picked The Mammoth Book of Tasteless and Outrageous Lists as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In fact, I found myself reading this large volume twice as it was easy to forget just how nasty some of these characters were. I have recommended it to my friends, who also found it as fascinating as I did.
