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“...

很好玩的一本书.只可惜无数的问题使得我看的时候很辛苦. 国人凭什么可以说日本对于历史的篡改.连这样一本书里提到的太平天国之乱都被删节了. 在网上找到一段繁体版的内容: 太平天國之亂(Taiping Rebellion) 看到这样的删节,除了冷笑之外别无想法. 期间更有无数低级错误诸...

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。

首先顺从个人趣味讲一下大概内容吧。本书按照由A到Z的顺序将部分词条抽出,夹杂了一些作者的个人感想。(没有剧情的书剧透真没意思╮(╯_╰)╭) 作者贾各由于智力上的深深挫败感,从而产生通过读大英百科来增加智商的想法。尽管该举动受到了各种可以想见的打击,但是贾各仍然...
