Synopsis
"We work", Aristotle wrote, "in order to have leisure". Today, it's still true, but is the leisure that Aristotle spoke of--the leisure to do nothing--the same as the leisure we look forward to each weekend? Waiting for the Weekend gives a fresh and provocative look at the time we think of as our own.

From AudioFile
This leisurely, thoughtful, cheerfully digressive work discusses just what weekends mean and what they have been throughout history. Unfortunately May reads at a relentless, clipped, and steady pace, much more like a Monday or a Tuesday than a weekend. Interesting stories and bits of history salvage the production for those who wish to add variety to a nonfiction collection. In spite of the reader's style, one can sometimes get a feel for the author's intent. However, the audio quality is also poor, with the sound levels varying greatly from tape to tape. J.D.P.
