I listened to this on Audible and found the ending hilarious. Pretty cool stuff A.J.

A very interesting look at self experimentation.  I would have appreciated a more quantitative approach, but each experiment was well defined and I learned an immense amount about marriage.

A delightfully fun, quick read. I really enjoy A.J.'s perspective on stuff -- he's a super curious, open-minded, silly guy with a sneaky amount of profundity.

Good introduction to AJ Jacobs if you haven't read his other books. Each chapter in Guinea Pig Diaries is a mini life experiment. As per usual, Jacobs is hilarious.

A.J. Jacobs makes me laugh. The experiments he does in this book had me chuckling and I had a hard time putting this book down to go to work or to go to sleep. The best part is I always learn something I never knew before when reading his books. I'm going to try and find the book where he read the encyclopedia for a year next!
