Idler lit anthology

Evan,

Ten years ago, Tom Hodgkinson (whom I have interviewed for Ideas and elsewhere) and Matthew De Abaitua, the editors of The Idler, a British journal, published "The Idler's Companion: An Anthology of Lazy Literature," an anthology of great idler lit. It didn't really make it to these shores; I see that Amazon has only five copies, available from used booksellers.

I can't find my copy! But Hodgkinson's "How to Be Idle" was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. (Though it raised hackles at Fast Company.) Amazon's "Citation" features lists all 151 citations in this latter volume; they include such idler lit classics (I'm including fiction and nonfiction) as "The Compleat Angler," by Izaak Walton; "The Right To Be Lazy," by Paul Lafargue; "The Soul of Man," by Oscar Wilde; "In Praise of Idleness: And other essays" by Bertrand Russell; "Confessions of an English Opium Eater" by Thomas De Quincey; "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain; and "Down and Out in Paris and London" by George Orwell.
