Too long too easy

Too long and too easy is my verdict on Kate Fox's Watching the English. In this Watching the English review I explain why the 225,000 word book felt bloated, praise its experimental sociology and observational methods, and note the English irony, self deprecating humour and train carriage rituals I skipped.
Rolly's Take
For those who find the absurdity of social behavior both fascinating and familiar. They appreciate the irony woven into everyday life, recognizing that humor often masks deeper truths, while navigating the fine line between observation and connection. This blog speaks to the reflective soul who relishes in the quirks of culture and the hidden rules that govern us all.
