Your annualist Book

BBC magazine reports on the rise in the number of books written about the author's year/month/whathever of doing something out of the ordinary. Like living in Provence, or not having sex, or having sex every day, or living without brand names or electricity or TV or eating only fast food....

If you were to write such a book, what topic would you pick? And what topic would you be interested to read about if not research yourself?

I really enjoyed reading this:



I don't think I'd like to do it.

I already live without TV.
Perhaps I could research what life would be like if I had the TV on all the time when it was safe (i.e. not driving...) I think I'd go nuts before the first week was out.

I guess if I had funding, it would be interesting to live only using "brand name" goods to see if the quality of our lives improved? We buy very little by brand now.

Better yet, I think you should go with one channel. Nick Jr., perhaps.

I myself would choose to live for an entire year without any contact with stupid behavior on the part of other people. (My own stupid behavior would, of course, be par for the course.)

I would travel to popular tourist destinations and review local eateries. Yes, its' been done before, but not by me.

all of them, though? or just the ones that look "nice"?

No chain restaurants, and I'm not eating anythings balls. Other than that...

That's not what Jim said.

My Year of Not Writing Anything Down.

Walking the Pennine Way....wouldn't be very long, or indeed very interesting to read...but wuold have some belting photos!

A year living in the former residence of the Unabomber.

:lol:

Didn't he live in a crappy wooden shack?

Yep!

I think I'd go for living like a Queen, or a celeb without the fame would be more fun.....

Certainly, but I'd sell more books. As time went on I'd get crazier and crazier...
