Oscar Wilde devotee Tom Hodgkinson launched a quarterly magazine in 1993 which was devoted to doing nothing. How can you write about nothing? Surprisingly there's a fine art to daydreaming, laziness, and the lack of work--and How To Be Idle combines anecdotes and literary criticism with history and a how-to commentary which defies easy categorization.
