Jeff Nitzkin has a few thoughts about life. And he's condensed them into easy-to-read essays. Toil...ingis a combination of the words toilet and reading.
We all know the meaning of toilet reading and obviously Nitzkin only takes himself as seriously as necessary for your entertainment.
Toil...ing is an ode to life as one man sees it.
Nitzkin shares not only his thoughts on bathrooms-like his outrage at narrowing the width of rolls of toilet paper with no disclosure, to the extravagance of a restroom he once visited in Bangkok, but also everyday musings on society: a culture where everything is always on sale and how the decline of Western civilization corresponds with the popularity of reality television.
The book simultaneously relates universal experiences and feelings, like revisiting his childhood, going to high school reunions, creating a ten-step plan for overindulgence, and the way baby boomers handle their children.
Written by a retired baby boomer, Toil...ing evokes the collective sentiment of a generation in a humorous and reflective tone. No topic is off-limits.
