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.

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“...

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。

真的,我不知道怎么给评价,就内容我想给个推荐,就翻译我想给个很差都算是给他面子了,这么一本极富知识性与趣味性的书,体裁也非常好,用自己的生活穿插各种冷知识,翻译能把这么一本书翻的莫名其妙难懂无比也是有些神奇了。 林登·约翰逊不是林登·詹森,《臭臭猫》翻译成《...

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。

激起了我对百科类书籍的热爱。 作者幽默风趣,谈到门萨时把我乐得不行。 可惜眨眼间大英百科不再出纸版。个人很想收一套,又怕浪费了没时间看。 多少次感慨,人的一生真的太短。 好像偏题了,止笔。

从这本书里我知道了:作者是Esquire的主编;在Brown混过4年;作者和老婆曾经因为结婚多年而未果求败各路神佛;作者去过Britannica的编辑部,发现那些编辑也不是无所不通晓的。。。A tabloidy version of <Circles>~

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。
