There’s a book in the Harvard University library that’s bound in human skin? It’s called Des destinees de l’ame, and it’s an example of a practice known as anthropodermic bibliopegy. The book was reportedly bound in the 19th century using the skin of an unclaimed female patient who died of natural causes.

Did you know that the world’s smallest book is so tiny that it requires a microscope to read? Titled “Teeny Ted from Turnip Town,” it measures just 0.07 by 0.10 millimeters and was created using a focused ion beam to carve the pages into crystalline silicon. This microscopic masterpiece was produced by scientists at Simon Fraser University in Canada.

Did you know the longest novel ever written is “In Search of Lost Time” by Marcel Proust? It’s so long that if you read it aloud, you’d be talking for over 80 hours straight!

In 2010, Amazon sold more e-books than physical books for the first time on Christmas Day. It seems Santa’s sleigh was a bit lighter that year, thanks to all the Kindle deliveries!

The Guinness World Record for the longest title of a book is 3,777 words long! The title of this book, written by Vityala Yethindra, summarizes the entire plot, and it’s so long that it covers the front and back cover of the book.

Today, I finished reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie, and here are my takeaways: 1. Remove anger from your communication. 2. Always try to understand the other person's viewpoint. 3. Don't appreciate anyone just for the sake of it. 4. Never point out people's mistakes directly.
