A review by melanie_reads
The Art of the Wasted Day by Patricia Hampl

adventurous emotional reflective medium-paced

3.75

There are amazing ideas found in this book, especially as it relates to how we spend our time chasing endless to-do lists when one day our spouses and other loves will be gone. However, I thought the connection between the big ideas and Hampl's pilgrimages to various historical sites were somewhat weak. They were interesting but they came off as somewhat vague. What was the purpose? Or maybe that was the purpose and I missed it.

From a craft perspective, how she addresses her late husband throughout the narrative was sheer brilliance.
