Drop Dead Healthy by A.J. Jacobs, 402 pages

A.J. Jacobs has decided to pursue the "perfect body" with the same level of obsessive dedication that he showed when going after the ideals of biblical law and reading the entire encyclopedia. Over two years he spends a month concentrating on a different body part or health ideal, culminating in a triathlon. One of my favorite chapters was "The Lower Intestine: The Quest to go to the Bathroom Properly" with him buying a squatting chair. His wife is a long-suffering sidekick, willing to go along with some of his journeys to optimum health.

While I didn't find this book as funny as "A Year of Living Biblically" I did still really enjoy it. It will be interesting to see what will be his next obsessive journey.
