| | | What is it about the rustic beauty of hardwood floors or the luxury of natural stone countertops that turns ordinary people into covetous friends, competitive neighbors, and shameless snoops? In House Lust, Newsweek writer Daniel McGinn takes readers inside the homes---and the psyches---of people all over the country to discover whata (TM)s fueling the national fixation on where and how we live today.
Annotation:
Newsweek writer Daniel McGinn examines the many facets of America's obsession with real estate, including trophy homes, house-flipping, costly renovations, and the new slew of home make-over reality television shows.
| Praise| "It is [Daniel McGinn's] ability to get inside the actual lives of the housing-obsessed rather that relying purely on statistics...that makes this book as enjoyable as an episode of Flip This House, another popular housing reality show that McGinn cites in a book that is, at heart, all "about behavior, not economics." 10/08/2007 |
