I would recommend these:

• The Economic Naturalist by Robert H. Frank. It's a collection of explanations about microeconomics and industrial production (for example: why are milk cartons rectangular while cans are cylindrical? why do DVDs and CDs have different kinds of cases? why are supermodels paid so much?).
  
  
• The New Book of Lists by David Wallechinsky and Amy Wallace. Many lists feature short anecdotes you might enjoy.
  
  
• Schott's Original Miscellany by Ben Schott. It's not properly a "trivia book", it's a hodgepodge of charts, tables and lists that cover pretty much every possible topic, from the types of clouds to the slang used by the British gay subculture to the flag of Guadeloupe. By the way, every book by Schott is worth reading.
  
  Surely, there are others I've read and I don't remember at the moment.

You can buy them off Amazon.co.uk. Ships pretty fast, considering it's overseas. I ordered the first box last week, and it'll be delivered this week.

Then you'll need some way to play Region 2 DVDs. If you're on PC, I think VLC media player plays discs from other regions without having to do anything technical to your computer. I was able to play Dad's Army through it, but they were oder DVDs.

Looks cool and also reminds me to recommend Ingenious Women: From Tincture of Saffron to Flying Machines by Deborah Jaffe and Sandi Toksvig

I may be wrong but these look awfully like the artwork done for his new book

order ladybugs on eBay

It's actually the name of his book.
