A.J. Jacobs- It's All Relative

Question

Thumbs up for "our" A. J. Jacobs' new book!  Give yourself a New Year's treat... buy, beg or borrow (from the library, of course) one of this year's funniest and most informative offerings. A.J.  has outdone himself, and of course it's a book that is all about us- it even clearly mentions Wikitree denizens with whom you will be familiar-yep, Eowyn is mentioned among others.

I won my copy in a Wikitree drawing, but trust me, this is a clever, readable book that you won't want to miss! Someone will probably snag the film rights- but you don't want to wait until that happens.

 Read.It.Now.

Hi Dorothy.

I posted on G2G all about this book when it first came out. I purchased it literally 2 minutes after midnighte on the day it was released and it took me 2 days to read the whole thing. I LOVED it!!

Here are my posts or other posts related to mine.

And I see your name in the giveaway for that second posting, Dorothy!! LOL

Anyway I am the reason why Kevin Bacon was bumped from the connection finder and was replaced with A J JACOBS!!  LOL

But yes, it is a great book to read!!  Very funny. And with several mentions of various wikitreers scattered throughout - most notably our own Forest Elf!!

Just my way of repeating a heartfelt thank you to Wikitree and A.J. - librarians, even retired ones "do it by the book"  ( so to speak,)
