The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World | 
pickI like A.J. Jacobs. He‘s funny and does a nice job mixing up more serious topics with anecdotal stories.
On a side note, do encyclopedias still exist in the traditional sense?
so-soMeh. It was ok. Funny in spots. Finished reading in this beautiful spot by the lake.
Pre-night shift reading.
This is the only book I‘ve read by AJ Jacobs but any of his would probably be a good #swissarmyrec by combining a bit of humour, general trivia and social experimentation.

This was a great commute listen. I really enjoy AJ Jacobs works.
An interesting article about the importance of reading and what you read https://qz.com/1104238/you-are-what-you-read/
I love AJ Jacobs! In this book, he chronicles his year spent reading the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica. #MrKnowItAll #AugustGrrrl
His new book comes out November 7: https://www.amazon.com/Its-All-Relative-Adventures-Worlds/dp/1476734496
pickLove jeopardy? Random facts? Reading? Humor? This book had all my favorite things ❤ @Liberty #moreorless

Looks like I've got more work to do..... I'm not sure how unless I move closer to a town with a bookstore, but I'm game.👍
After the siblings and niblings have moved on to their next christmas, it's time for me to curl up with a book! First I'm trying for a little humor with A.J. Jacobs (I loved A Year of Living Biblically a few years ago). Merry Christmas Litsy! 😍
pickOne of the only books I've ever laughed out loud at;- mans true life endeavor to read the encyclopedia while raising his first child and how he incorporates the mostly useless knowledge into lessons of parenthood.
pickI think anything by A.J. Jacobs is criminally under hyped. He's the Editor at Large for Esquire and used to write for Entertainment Weekly. He's hilarious and likes to document his adventures. He's read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica, lived the Bible for a year (he's agnostic), and even tried to get healthy using bizarre means. His books are awesome----informative AND funny. 😂📚 #augustphotochallenge #underhypedbook
I came home tonight to over 200 notifications and thought, WTH happened ! Litsy exploded???? But now I know why, and Challenge Accepted @BookishFeminist Other members I think should be followed on Litsy (and that I haven't seen on your or @brendanmleonard lists): @Gezemice @MeganMarieWrites @quirkyreader @Lindy @BestOfFates @Chessa @Ambrosnazzy @kammartinez @kmdartist @Lizpixie @Reese_Pearly.Pages @kissxxmyxxconverse @Johanna414 ...
The author of this book I'm reading spends a little bit of time talking about TAXONOMY, which I misread at first as TAXIDERMY. It was a very confusing few minutes before I realized my mistake.
This seems like a proper read for someone who's motto has always been "LEARN EVERYTHING." (And who eats her kid's leftover lunch chips out of Tupperware while drinking vodka tonics, but that's neither here nor there.)
