The Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life as an Experiment by A.J. Jacobs

4.0

A. J. Jacobs is an excellent guinea pig - trying odd experiments (only tell the WHOLE truth for a month; outsourcing his life to assistants overseas) and writing about them in a witty, enticing way. The only downside was that a lot of these essays I had previously read, so that was a bit disappointing. But I especially liked the little codas (especially his wife's coda on the chapter about him obeying her for a month), so it was worth it for me.
