The know-it-all : one man's humble quest to become… de A. J. Jacobs

Enjoyable tale of one man’s quest to read the encyclopedia and lord his knowledge over the rest of mankind, and how it backfires on him and lea es him both wiser and humbler. Lots of neat little trivia and factoids to enjoy throughout and a good deL of humor as well

Drop Dead Healthy de A.J. Jacobs

Another enjoyable adventure with AJ. I don't think I'll ever enjoy him as much as I did in The Know-It-All but this was pretty good.

Light reading, funny, with some interesting factoids about healthy living.

The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble… de A. J. Jacobs

An impossible task to follow the bible literally for an entire year. (I don't think it can be done for an entire day). This was an interesting read and I learned more about the bible than I thought I would. He tried with sincerity to explore a more biblical life and although there were moments that made me laugh out loud I appreciated the fact that he approached this undertaking as an agnostic but with an open mind and devoted attempt.
