'Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy.'
This quote is from one of my favourite books, Tom Hodgkinson's How To Be Idle. It's basically a manifesto on living the good life, and sticking it to the man, all with as little effort as possible. Hodgkinson backs up his theories with plenty of research and examples from history and literature, presented with humour and wit. And if you're impressed with this one, he's also written How To Be Free.
There's a great interview with the author at Mother Jones, and you can got to the homepage of The Idler, a magazine founded by Hodgkinson and Gary Pretor-Pinney.
