Read this book if you want to know nothing about everything.

The Psychic Soviet - Ian F. Svenonius

This little pink book fits perfectly in my hand bag and the chapters are short enough to read on train or bus trips or when your waiting around.
Its funny, and full of crack conspiracy theories about everything from the fall of the former soviet union to vampirism and rock and roll.

Things I learned from the Psychic Soviet:
1. We take more antidepressants due to an imbalance in psychological geopolitics after the fall of the soviet union - also known as "post-soviet depression"
2. Bram Stokers Dracula addresses the genetic concerns of Europes upper classes - the quest for genetic purity.
3. All cultures engage in Vampirism by adopting the preferred beverage of the conquered nation i.e. Beer after the fall of Germany in WWII, vodka after Russia and Coffee as we subjugate the third world.
4. Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones and Back in the USSR by the Beatles reflect intra-commie conflict. Sypathy being Maoist and USSR being Soviet based. Also, when asked "can you guess my name" in Sympathy, the name is in fact not "The Devil" but "Historical Materialism".
5. The rock and roll fable of Dylan going electric represented the struggle between market forces and Communist egalitarianism.
6. Lord of the Rings is the woman haters bible - the evil ring that rules them all represents the vagina.

and more
but forgive me if i am a little confused about them
