Have you ever wanted to read the
Encyclopaedia Britannica cover to cover? Me neither, except for brief moments while reading A.J. Jacobs's
The Know-It-All. It's a memoir of the year he spent reading the encyclopaedia, so discussions of neat things he reads about are interspersed with comments about getting himself in trouble mentioning them, and lots of talk of his and his wife's attempts to get her pregnant.
