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

4.0

It was a hard slog at first (much like the author's journey, I imagine) and then ended up a delightful book. The author vacillated between charming enthusiasm and annoying self-awareness, but at the end I liked him and was no longer jealous of his quest.
