33,000 PAGES 44 MILLION WORDS 10 BILLION YEARS OF HISTORY 1 OBSESSED MAN Part memoir and part education (or lack thereof), The Know-It-All chronicles NPR contributor A.J. Jacobs's hilarious, enlightening, and seemingly impossible quest to read the Encyclopaedia Britannica from A to Z. To fill the ever-widening gaps in his Ivy League education, A.J. Jacobs sets for himself the daunting task of reading all thirty-two volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. His wife, Julie, tells him it's a waste of time, his friends believe he is losing his mind, and his father, a brilliant attorney who had once attempted the same feat and quit somewhere around Borneo, is encouraging but unconvinced. With self-deprecating wit and a disarming frankness, The Know-It-All recounts the unexpected and comically disruptive effects Operation Encyclopedia has on every part of Jacobs's life -- from his newly minted marriage to his complicated relationship with his father and the rest of his charmingly eccentric New York family to his day job as an editor at Esquire. Jacobs's project tests the outer limits of his stamina and forces him to explore the real meaning of intelligence as he endeavors to join Mensa, win a spot on Jeopardy!, and absorb 33,000 pages of learning. On his journey he stumbles upon some of the strangest, funniest, and most profound facts about every topic under the sun, all while battling fatigue, ridicule, and the paralyzing fear that attends his first real-life responsibility -- the impending birth of his first child. The Know-It-All is an ingenious, mightily entertaining memoir of one man's intellect, neuroses, and obsessions, and a struggle between the all-consuming quest for factual knowledge and the undeniable gift of hard-won wisdom.

绝对值得一读的书,但不要看得太快,否则肯定会头痛,像我一样。 A·J·雅各布,突然觉得自己相当弱智,担心自己40岁时只会流着口水,蹲在电视机前傻笑(因为更年期的毛病?!)。为了改变自己低下的智力,他作出了一个荒唐而重大的决定:阅读完大英百科全书,成为世界上最聪...

是一本好书,但是对于翻译…… 我相信翻译者的英语水平,不然也不会成为“新东方学校ELITE精英英语学习中心主任”,但也不得不疑虑译者的细心程度、中文水平和人文知识。 duality,D项下的一个词条,翻译的是“对偶性”;E项下的一个注释,要求参看duality,这里的翻译成了“...

看不懂老师布置的readings,总是求助于wiki,到头来发现,seminar的时候大家都一样,老师一听就知道,集体去看wiki了,集体不看readings. 老师很郁闷。后果很严重。再来一个星期,继续wiki。 没有钱也没有时间去看大英百科,就先看看这个类文摘。的确很多好笑的东西,可是我看到...

從這本書裏我知道瞭:作者是Esquire的主編;在Brown混過4年;作者和老婆曾經因為結婚多年而未果求敗各路神佛;作者去過Britannica的編輯部,發現那些編輯也不是無所不通曉的。。。A tabloidy version of <Circles>~
