topiary 's review for:
The Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life as an Experiment
by A.J. Jacobs
Being taken into the world of A.J. Jacobs is like drinking a highly caffeinated, grande mochaccino latte that has been laced with arsenic and has the potential to explode. As the reader I felt like a) I envy his capacity to talk to all the authors and interesting people, b) he needs help and c) Julie his wife isn't a Saint, more like she is the most patient spouse a writer could ask for. I really loved this book. I was said at the end, knowing my days would no longer be filled with five minutes of actual humour, new experiences and random trivia that Jacobs packs into every chapter. After reading, I found the endnotes, which include lists of various things included in the chapters, particularly the George Washington one and the Project Rationality one. I was hesitant about reading this book, worried that it was going to be boring, make me paranoid or leave me wanting more.
After reading, I was left wanting more, but in the sense that I wanted to devour "The Year Of Living Biblically" and "the Know-It-All" immediately, instead of later...
I reccomend this to anyone who is bored of stuffy memoirs, has an interest in life, people, history or being an introvert, or enjoys a little bit of self-evaluation after reading a book.
