The Guinea Pig Diaries by A.J. Jacobs, 2.5/5 Stars
Entertained Me: Med, Made Me Think: Low

Cover of Cover via AmazonPicked up this book from the bargain shelf at Barnes when I went to grab a "homework assignment" book about boundaries prescribed by a friend. Enjoyable read. Laughed a few times. Particularly enjoyed the month of outsourced life, especially using the personal assistant to carry an argument over email with a significant other. Also got a kick out of reading the last chapter, including his spouse's commentary. Would be fun propose a few more experiments... hmmm.
