A Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs. It's a story of a writer who decides to spend a year following the rules of the bible. He dedicates the first 8 months to the Old Testament and the last 4 months to the New Testament. Along the way he meets people who are completely devoted to various expressions of their religion and it's so intriguing to read his perspective. Jacobs is a witty writer who is able to interject humor throughout his experience, so it doesn't feel like he is being weighed down by the rules. I'm only about a third of the way through, but I am very much enjoying it so far.
