The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World by A.J. Jacobs

5.0

It didn't surprise me that I loved this book; after all, who better to sympathize with Jacobs' childhood certainty that he was the smartest boy in the world? It was funny, filled with tons of trivia, and best yet, asks the tough question, what's the point of learning? Jacobs' struggle to understand why he's embarked on this staggering quest is both amusing and empathetic, and I was sad when it was over. Definitely plan to read more of his stuff.
