Are you satisfied by your job? No? THE GOOD LIFE FOR WAGE SLAVES is crammed with survival strategies for those who can’t (or don’t want to) escape the worker-consumer treadmill. This book might be the helpful tome–or at least the shoulder to cry on–you’ve been waiting for. It contains swearing. Also cats.
Bill Bryson with a Scottish accent. An ex-pat Scot travels the US, persuading bemused Americans to teach her things she never learned back home. As she Scottish country dances in Honolulu, attempts to play bagpipes in New Orleans and golfs for the first time on a rattlesnake-infested sand course in Arizona, she learns what it means to be Scottish, Scottish-American and at home so far from home.
