The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible by A.J. Jacobs

3.0

---

Humorous attempt to live all the rules in the bible in the most literal way possible. He starts out agnostic and ends agnostic with a little spirituality. It reminded me of the story of the man who was in prison and all he had to read was the bible. When he was freed all he could tell you was how many times the word "the" had been used and how many times the word "amen" was used, etc. . .

I was disappointed that his perusal of Christianity was a lame effort (at best). There was lots of little gems though in the reading that made me laugh and also contemplate why I pick and choose what I do.
