Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs by Ken Jennings

4.0

Interesting, quick read by Ken Jennings describing his historic run on Jeopardy! as well as presenting a general chronology of trivia and its continued popularity. May contain a little less about the how-to a would be Jeopardy! contestant would want (see Bob Harris's Prisoner of Trebekistan: A Decade in Jeopardy!), but there's a feeling that the commonality of curiosity makes us more alike than different.

The conversational tone belies the amount of information presented. The chapters are generally short and contain a number of trivia questions throughout with answers following the chapter. I enjoyed it quite a bit and would re-read if the call from Culver City comes.
