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

4.0

fun with the encyclopaedia britannica and A.J. Jacobs quest to become the "smartest person in the world." i enjoyed it although by the last 40 or so pages i was ready for the book to end since it got to be a little tiresome reading condensed versions of the encyclopaedia's (spelled correctly, thank you) entries with bits of the author's commentary included. i did find myself laughing at jacob's wry humor, he's very funny. could help with your jeopardy game...
