Slacker handbook - book review

Book is a lot of fun Info on how to do lab studies, the look of a slacker, even a questionaire on your job to see how it measures up to being a slackers dream (encouraged to make calls on the job, don't necessarily have to show up, and so forth) A very informative book. Though not everyone has the fortitude to get food stamps off the state to afford all the brightly colored breakfast cereals!

record store slacker

i came across this book in a dollar bin, at the time i was working in an independent record store, drinking coffee all the time, and smoking way too many cigarettes. i thought it was brilliant. this book really summed up a time and a place, a grungy apathetic precurser to the hipsters of now. and though it no longer applies, i still love this book!

Sarah, I knew you when...

I remember when Sarah Dunn was hanging out in slacker coffee shops in Philly, like the Last Drop, writing this book. Now's she's moved on up to NYC and is writing for Michael J. Fox's Spin City TV show. Not a bad career move. But Sarah, be assured, the slackers are still slacking in your old haunts. This book, with its chaotic layout and graphics, its entertaining prose, and nail-on-the-head insights is a must for Generation X navel-gazers. My kid sister and I bookend this group (I'm 30, she's 20) and Sarah's book made for a great gift for the l'il shrimp. Every generation needs a field guide; Sarah's is ours.

Tremendously funny.Lots of info & help(yes,help) on slacking

I think the 'Official Slacker Handbook' is a great expression of today's generation by Sarah Dunn.Lots of humor in it & an idea of the lifestyle of today's generation;mostly in their twenties or even teens.I personally recommend that EVERY library stocks at least one copy of 'The Official Slacker Handbook'.It's one book you either love,hate or as the author,Sarah puts it,love to hate.
