The Year of Living Biblically

Interesting book the back story of the beard was entertainment in itself. The story revolves around the author who tries to live strictly by the laws as set down in the Bible for the year. The adventures are startingly funny

A.J. Jacobs takes on the Bible and all its rules and regulations. He soon finds it impossible to follow every rule every day, so he resorts to attempting to follow selected rules each day. Still he fails. My favorite part was when he went to Central Park on Saturday and Sunday (the Sabbath) and attempted to stone those breaking the Sabbath.

Liked this book as much as the one written by Edward G. Dobson, the difference being that A. J. Jacobs is not a practicing Jew, nor a Christian. It was funny and engaging. He's done an interesting experiment indeed.
