Okay, okay... you win. 
I only have a flat, so alas, I have to make do with less space! O dear! The tragedy of it all! How can I carry on living! *grabs a dagger from Juliet Montague and stabs himself in the chest*
Nah, don't worry - 'tis a retractable stage knife. It can't possibly hurt me.
And speaking of strange, weird, and wonderful reference books...
Napoleon's Privates - 2,500 years of history unzipped by Tony Perrottet. (Not as fun as it sounds)
Orgy Planner Wanted by Vicki Leon - an examination of jobs and occupations in ancient Rome and Greece. Good fun.
Military Misdemeanours by Terry Crowdy. Also good fun.
Lost States by Michael Trinklein - subtitled "True Stories of Texlahoma, Transylvania, and Other States That Never Made It".
A bit short, but also good fun.
For instance, were you aware that, just after World War II, there was a plan for England to become a state in the USA?
It never made it far (obviously). 
...and so on... it's late and I'd like some sleep.... *yawn*
