The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World by A.J. Jacobs
4.0
Consumed as an audiobook.
This work so appealed to my sensibilities- if you know me- informational, quirky, fun, conversational (even though it is rather one-sided as a reader/listener).
While I often sat with a volume of an encyclopedia randomly reading entries after reading the item I planned to look up, I’m not sure I have the patience to read the Encyclopedia Brittanica straight-through from A to Z, no matter how much I enjoy reading and picking up varied and sundry information.
