N Tom Hodgkinson Paperback 2009-05-21T00:36:21-05:00 <p> In 24 chapters representing each hour of the day, this book will coax out the loafer in even the most diligent and schedule-obsessed worker. Line drawings throughout.</p><br/><p><b>From the Publisher:</b><br/> <P> From the founding editor of "The Idler," the celebrated magazine about the freedom and fine art of doing nothing, comes not simply a book, but an antidote to our work-obsessed culture. In "How to Be Idle," Tom Hodgkinson presents his learned yet whimsical argument for a new universal standard of living: being happy doing nothing. He covers a whole spectrum of issues affecting the modern idler--sleep, work, pleasure, relationships--while reflecting on the writing of such famous apologists for it as Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Nietzsche--all of whom have admitted to doing their very best work in bed.</p><br/> 0.9 1282 Y http://media.800ceoread.com/view/9780060779696/image/coverart REG 0060779691 English N 7.16 No Book 286 1395 active 2007-05-01 1395 Harper Perennial no Humor Available 1 9780060779696 2010-02-06T09:14:59-06:00 0.59 5.02
