Book # 8: The Guinea Pig Diaries

by A.J. Jacobs

This is the third book by A.J. Jacobs that I've read, and it is my least favorite.  I think the main reason is that this is a series of small experiments, while the others were longer and more involved.  This book felt more disjointed, maybe even a little forced.  That being said, there were a number of laugh-out-loud moments, especially in the final projects.  A couple of his projects included:  outsourcing his life to companies in India--both professional and personal, trying to practice radical honesty, and letting his wife be in charge of everything.  Parts were intriguing, but it's not a book I would necessarily reccomend.  Read his other two first at least.
