Interesting account of what Americans do with their daily lives.
Factoids: None
Review: C+ (1.19.07) This is a great book, I picked it up to read a dozen times for about a year and a half, and then received it as a Christmas gift. It goes through waves of interest, it took me over a year to read because at times, depending on the material, or the way people talk, it is not a cover to cover book. I think that the Bathroom Reader series also made this an easy to read format. There are a lot of perspectives, and interesting job insights (good and bad).
