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

3.0

I'm not sure if I liked reading this book, but I'm glad I did. I mightn't recommend the book to anyone but neither would I discourage anyone from reading it. Funny (it actually isn't that funny) how a book that formally is organized like an encyclopædia (and like The encyclopædia, the great Encyclopædia Britannica), but has a structure very unlike it; namely, there's a story that carries through it. Although, according to this book, there might yet be a story that runs through the encyclopædia, too.
