Too much healthy--too little funny

Drop Dead Healthy:

One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection

by A. J. Jacobs

If you've read the encyclopedia book and the Bible book, then you pretty much know what to expect. This one didn't disappoint me, although I liked the Bible one best. And this wasn't nearly as funny as the others--don't know why. There so much one can make fun of in the pursuit of perfect health--juicing and sprouting; raw meat and hand sanitizers; fit bits worn 24x7--I'm surprised he didn't recalibrate his fit-bit to measure the aerobic intensity of sex.  That's the sort of zania I expect from a.j. Jacobs.  

Maybe the problem was he didn't overdo things as much as he's done in other year-long quests. He did finish a triathlon by the end--and without injury to life, limb, or marital happiness. Kind of disappointing, don't you think?
