Publisher's summary

If I were the president of one of the broadcast networks, I'd take another look at signing up A.J. Jacobs to make a sitcom based on his life. (And yes, I know it's been tried before – as described by A.J. himself in Esquire magazine last fall, but this idea is worth a second look.)

All the basic elements are there: A.J. is a neurotic, Jewish writer living in Manhattan with his grounded wife and naturally funny three boys, two of whom are twins. His extended family is full of characters, including his late Aunt Marti, a delightful eccentric, and his late grandfather, legendary Manhattan labor attorney Theodore Kheel.

A fun followup to Drop Dead Healthy

I enjoyed this short interview with AJ Jacobs. I recently read Drop Dead Healthy, so I was interested in knowing a little more about the process of writing the book. I lowered the rating one star because the sound quality is uneven; also it seems this content might have been available for free online at some point, so if you search for it, you might save yourself the 99 cents. I'm not sorry I spent the 99 cents though.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
