''Just finished Random Curiosities by Ross Scafidas -- a sharp, funny, and endlessly entertaining read. Each chapter feels like a late-night chat about everything from quantum physics to fashion trends, with just the right mix of wit and insight. If you're into smart writing that doesn't take itself too seriously, this one's worth picking up''.--Goodreads Review

''Personally, this gem of a read made me look at the world anew. In my humble opinion not many books of this nature can do that.''

--Goodreads Review

''Don't be fooled by the unpretentious title. Ross dives into the most serious and controversial topics affecting our world. From Big Bang to Quantum Entanglement to Ancient Mysticism to Religions to "Fifty Shades of Grey" to Artificial Intelligence. The author mixes these serious topics with analytical rigor; and lots of common sense; and phenomenal satire or humor; that makes it extremely difficult to put this book down.''--Goodreads Review

''Honestly, it was a blast.

The tone is raw, witty, like a late-night chat where the whiskey flows and no topic is off limits...

It's fast paced, funny, and thought-provoking, and I genuinely enjoyed the ride.'' --Goodreads Review
