Not being one to fully know (or, perhaps, fully appreciate) English humor, I could never quite decide if Wallace was serious or joking. Help me out here, British folk. Perhaps some serious ideas and some not so?
Give an apple to your teacher.
Leave some fresh
fruit and vegetables
outside a student
house. They will
probably try and turn
it into beer, but at
least you tried.
Resist the urge to kill.

I only gave this a 3 as some of the Random Acts are a bit iffy to me, but it is a brilliant book filled with ideas of how to make people smile, how to brighten someone's day and generally making the world a better place.
This was the first Danny Wallace book I read, and then I moved on to Join Me. I've done some random acts of kindness myself and it has made me feel happier and better in myself, it has made me appreciate others more and not to be so focused on myself as we all can be...more

I was supposed to be doing the housework but got sidetracked as soon as I picked up this book with little tips on doing random acts of kindness. Some are worth following whilst others are sheer nuttiness but most will make you laugh out loud. An entertaining distraction.
This was a cute little book! I also have read "Are You Dave Gorman", "Join Me" and "Googlewhack".
My favorite ideas:
- sending the peanuts to the old man
- pub day in honor of a friend
- free box of stuff
- pay for an extra game of bowling for someone
- place a small ad with a compliment to the reader
- giving away books - hooray for bookcrossing!

A very quick read. It's obviously not meant to be read in one go like I did, but it has some lovely, touching anecdotes and a lot of smile inducing ideas.
This book made me feel all warm and fuzzy. And for a few days I was doing random acts of kindness all over the place. I think I should read the book again.
I am a huge Danny Wallace fan, and I think this book is a way to make the world a smilier place!
Definately something to try and do in London.

If you're looking for silly inspiration this might be for you, but otherwise just be a better person.
Fun short feel good read.
