I think that a lot of A.J. Jacobs fans will want to read this if they liked "The Know It All" and "The Year of Living Biblically." I'm here to tell you, though, that you can probably skip it. It has it's moments, but it's not funny or interesting enough to spend the energy tracking the book down and then actually reading it. I spent around $16-$20 buying it online (it's probably out of print by now) and I'm sort of mad I spent the money. My words of advice: Just wait for Jacobs' next book! ( )
