The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs

In which A.J. Jacobs documents his attempt to live by the literal rules of the bible for one year.


I am really down on religion books, so this one sat on my to-read pile for nearly a year. I finally read it based on a recommendation and I am so glad I did! It was a really nice book. I got a lot of comments and looks while reading it, and noticed that most reactions from both sides of the religion aisle (pro- and anti-, I suppose) were scornful regarding this book. Turns out, the book does an amazing job of being neutral and unbiased. Before I started reading it I assumed it would be 300 pages of mocking the weird things the bible says but this didn't turn out to be true at all.
