Title: Work to eat; eat to live; live to ride; ride to work.
Review: The author (THC) was stuck in what sounds like an impoverished and lonely life before he became a messenger. As a messenger, he found himself a part of a greater community (of messengers) and began to see organic patterns in the previously indecipherable and hostile city. This book is more than just the diary of a twenty-something messenger though. The author has many relevant things to say about our auto-centered culture. Many other reviewers are critical of THC's anti-auto polemic; I wonder how many of them use walking or biking as primary transportation. If you share THC's concern about the state of our transportation infrastructure, I heartily recommend James Howard Kunstler's "Nowhere" books (Home from Nowhere in particular).
