Dave Gorman is one of my favourite authors, and although nothing tops Are You Dave Gorman?, his Googlewhack Adventure is a very good read :)

I read his 3 books, and they are good - havn't read the dvd though

Danny Wallace's books are better though, in my opinion!

Googlewhack Adventure is a good dvd, the book is better & there is also a magic effect out which utilises it called 'Whacked'. I'm not certain of what actually happens during the effect.

The best book in my opinion from either Dave G or Danny W is 'Are You Dave Gorman'. It's written in a nice style where Dave writes in normal & Danny in italics, taking it in turns makes it much more fun.

Dave Gorman's books are hilarious - got them all and love them all. other authors in the same vein are:

Danny Wallace (Join Me, Yes Man, Danny Wallace and the Centre of the Universe, Friends Like These)
Jules Segal (Greeting the 500)
Tony Hawks (Playing the Moldovans at Tennis, Round Ireland With A Fridge, One hit Wonderland and more...)
Kyle MacDonald(One Red paperclip)

Still to read books by the last two, but they are sitting on my shelf waiting patiently.
