I have also read 'Useful Work versus Useless Toil' One of Morris' lectures. Struck me as incredibly relevant in how work is viewed and carried out, particularly poignant this week as the morality of 'work' is pushed amid the demonstration of benefit claimants, a race to the bottom and what is likely to be a forerunner to lowering the minimum wage.

I'm enjoying this book, thanks for pointing it out. I am a third through. So far, I would prefer this new society, particularly the choices in work. There are many times when I just don't want to be indoors 5 days a week. It feels very restrictive.

I agree on the physical books thing. I use my library a lot (I'm lucky to have access to University library also). Bought this one 2nd hand for a pittance - so will pass on when finished. I haven't got much room left, even keeping books in my car boot!

I'm a bit old fashioned, have ordered it.. should arrive soon.

Will have a look after I've finished my current Polar explorer book, shouldn't be too long..

would like to keep it fairly light. Just because I have a pile of reading already on the go! would be interested in the odd journal article too.
