"the know-it-all: one man's humble quest to become the smartest person in the world" by a.j. jacobs

after tremendously enjoying a.j. jacobs newest book, "the year of living biblically" in which he lives by the bible for an entire year, i had to read this one in which he embarks on reading the entire encyclopedia britannica.  

while not as refined as his latest offering, this book was a very good read.  the humour is often a bit hammy and too obvious, unlike the wit in "the year of living biblically", but it's kind of nice to be able to actually notice a writer getting better.
