Dishwasher: One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States (P.S.)
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


Pete remembers his father coming home miserable from work every day. He grew up poor, and instead of this being a motivator to work hard, it has the opposite effect, he vows to work as little as possible. Only towards the end does he conclude that he's wasted years of his life instead of working towards a career. In between these two life realizations are the intriguing stories of Pete working menial jobs everywhere. Most of us want to work hard, and it was fascinating to read about such a dedicated slacker!
