Hello all,
My new book THE GUINEA PIG DIARIES: MY LIFE AS AN EXPERIMENT is out today. And my first stop on my North American tour is none other than Canada. No offense to Mexico. But I think I have more readers in Canada.
I'll be on CBC's THE HOUR on Thursday, September 10.
And at 7 pm on the 10th, I'll be speaking at Indigo (yes, the physical version of the website you are on right now!). The one on Manulife Center in Toronto. I can't wait. Hope you can make it.

A. J. Jacobs

Author

I'm living in: New York City
About Me:

I'm the author of THE KNOW-IT-ALL (my quest to read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica) and THE YEAR OF LIVING BIBLICALLY (about following every single rule of the Bible, from the Ten Commandments right on down to stoning adulterers). And now, in the fall of 2009 my new book THE GUINEA PIG DIARIES: MY LIFE AS AN EXPERIMENT, about a series of quests to understand love and work and happiness. Including the time I outsourced my life, and when I went undercover as a woman. Check out ajjacobs.com
Interests:

Reading. Eating the occasional cricket. Wearing white clothes. Googling exes. . Boggle (before you scoff at me for being a loser, let me just say: I'm talking Big Boggle, the five by five kind, not the lame-o four by four Boggle)
Favourite Movies:

Dr. Strangelove, Groundhog's Day (I could watch it again and again. HEY NOW!!), Shawshank Redemption, Cool Hand Luke, I'm liking this fellow Judd Apatow's recent oeuvre.

We can't wait. Guinea Pig Diaries will be one of our favourite books this fall. Happy to see you're coming to Toronto on September 10.

Hey A.J. What's new? Are you working on a new book? Loved your Esquire article with Tina Fey a while back -- so funny.

A book that makes me laugh out loud on the subway three times in one ride home is a book that I highly recommend.

Knights of the Sea ~ A Grim Tale of Murder, Politics, and Spoon Addiction ~ My latest book is finally out. It's a bit hard to sum up in one line, though the sub-title gives a pretty good idea of the tone...

This is a really fun movie. Fast-paced. Good acting. Kevin Spacey is always excellent at playing a hard-ass. Solid movie.
