Publisher's Synopsis
Famous Last Words is a fascinating collection of final farewells and deathbed ditties, such as Karl Marx's "Go on, get out. Last words are for fools who haven't said enough" and Joan Crawford's "Damn it ...Don't you dare ask God to help me!" This highly entertaining read includes famous sayings the famous probably regret having said (i.e. Mick Jagger: "I'd rather be dead than singing Satisfaction when I'm 45,") and predictions that never quite came off (did the world end with a giant flood in February, 1524 anyone?). A really fun and light read that will put a smile on your face.
