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.

比想象中的差好多。。。。。但是我记住了eggplant和intercourse。翻译啊翻译,显得好无聊。不喜欢书的印刷,不过唐丹丹好像特别喜欢。

——读《我的大英百科狂想曲》    这世上,读过《大英百科全书》的只怕不在少数,不过,诚实读完的恐怕没几个。据大英百科全书的统计,对当世有深远影响的著名物理学家理查德•费曼算一个,此外,还有读完了第十九版的萧伯纳,以及很早以前建议将它当作“旅途最佳读...

资深娱记看百科全书,自然能够顺当又搞笑地看成人类史娱乐版。可无论如何解构,穿插在野史秘闻间的,还有隐隐绰绰残存下的数字和过往,历史余烬未完,仍旧让人心悸。

这本书从图书馆的书架上抽出来的时候,我估计我是第一人。呵呵 看着看着,也忍不住笑起来,周围的人都投射过来眼光。哎,保不住我的淑女形象了。

作者做的这个工程蛮浩大,大英百科,嗯,我想我不会喜欢这样去读它。在我看来,这种书还是更适合用来查阅。 他读他是为了让自己更聪明?可是我们怎么定义聪明呢?且不论能否记下这些东西,即使记下了,就聪明吗?那我们都比不过一张光盘。 全书象大英百科自己一样没有体系,按...

读完大英百科全书,厉害啊

评分

作为流行文化的中毒者,作者决定通读大英百科全书来返璞归真提升自我。这本书里有他在百科全书里读到的各种有趣词条,配上流行作家一贯风格的吐槽,也穿插了些自己日常生活的片段,自恋与自嘲都很坦诚。读前半本时特别喜欢这种文风,但是后半本有点审美疲劳了。

评分

休闲读物,到后半截又没了耐性。大概是那个时候我开始想起大作家的话——新闻就是简化,小说才可能真实。我记住的零零碎碎里最想信服的是ecclesiastics——make the most what you get.也想读11版,博尔赫斯看到有意思的地方就停下来细读的那一版。
