I was reading this cover-to-cover but it got kind of tedious that way as it’s really a collection of essays by different people on various aspects of how we spend our time. It’s full of interesting facts all the same, and a lot of bits that go counter to popular opinion. I just found it better to pick a chapter and read it for a bit than to read it all in one go. I’m moving it off my currently reading pile but haven’t really finished it and will dip back into it in the future. Overall, I just think it could have been a more coordinated and edited better.
