a book? I’m only partway through it, but it’s fascinating so far.

You can get it here for $6. (Woo hoo, bargain books!) It’s all about why we feel the need for speed (historically and sociologically speaking), and the movement to take back control over our own time. It may have just given me the inspiration I needed to tackle more hands on cooking – what will it inspire you to do?
I’ll post a more comprehensive review once I’ve finished it, but for now, if it sounds interesting to you, go take a look!
