That's Titles. Famous Titles.
Once I got it into my head that I was actually going to study for Jeopardy! (inspired mainly by reading Prisoner of Trebekistan and learning about the ridiculous amount of preparation and drilling that Jeopardy! champion Bob Harris has done over his Jeopardy! career) I went out and invested in many study materials, most of which I got from the references section at the end of Prisoner.
Books I've read in the last few months that I consider to be preparation for Jeopardy!:
- Prisoner of Trebekistan: A Decade in Jeopardy!
(must-read)
- Secrets of the Jeopardy Champions
(must-read)
- Ken Jennings's Trivia Almanac: 8,888 Questions in 365 Days
(working on this one little by little)
On the "to read/skim/watch/research" pile:
If you're not going to buy these books from Amazon via the links above, I recommend Better World Books. I bought most of these books used through them, and the most I paid was $5.98. I got nine books for less than $40!
