Harper Perennial, 2007

Great follow-up to "Idle"
After reading "How to be Idle" in the summer of 2007 and finding out that Hodgkinson had a new release in late 2007, I quickly reserved a copy at my bookstore. As much as I loved "How to be Idle", I enjoyed this one even more. Once again, Hodgkinson's insights prove ...

The Idler 41: QI Issue

Ebury Press, 2008
