I really liked this author's previous two books - one about reading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica and the other about conforming to Biblical law for a year - but I couldn't get into this book. Whereas the previous books were focused, this book documents a series of one month experiments and at times seems like it is just stretching to the reach the back cover. A.J. adopts the mannerisms of George Washington, outsources his life overseas, and defers to his wife for a month. Some mildly entertaining moments, but not what I've come to expect from this author.
