For some readers, a book ends once they’ve reached the last page. For others, that last page kickstarts a deep dive down the delightful rabbit hole of book-related fun facts available to anyone with internet access and a lot of free time. In fact, the stories behind famous books are so fascinating that they practically deserve a book of their own. So Mental Floss decided to make one.

We’re excited to introduce The Curious Reader: A Literary Miscellany of Novels & Novelists, edited by Mental Floss editor-in-chief Erin McCarthy and the rest of the Mental Floss team. It’s an illustrated and quirky compendium of all the things you didn’t know about all the books and authors you probably do know. Little-known details about an author and their work can help provide context for a certain novel, and they can also help you become the most interesting guest at any dinner party.
