( ) Pogue's Basics: Life by David Pogue is a collection of Life hacks and easy shortcuts that you might or might not have heard before. I am taking at least one piece of advice from this book and that is this; if you are in a car that is unfamiliar to you because you are renting it or something, use the little arrow on the Fuel Indicator to tell you which side the gas tank is on. There are a number of other handy or nifty little tricks in here, many of which are helpful. David Pogue tends to shoot a scattershot and hope that some of them stick, quantity rather than quality. Though that isn't to say these pieces of advice are bad, far from it. It's just that a lot of these are things you heard of before or things that might not apply to you. I guess I am glad that I paid a reduced amount for it since I found it at a Used Book Store. I was hoping for some terrific, unique tips that would "wow" me. Instead I got tips on how to tie my running shoes so they don't untie during the day & how to untie them easily when you want to take them off. How to save on iPhone data charges - go to cafes, bars, public spaces where free wifi is offered. Basically lots of common sense tips that the average person is already knows. Disappointing. 2.5 stars no reviews | add a review
