I have to admit that I'm a sucker for stories of those who've found interesting ways to curb their consumerism. I spent a year (2007) participating in the Compact - a vow not to buy anything new (other than food, medical necessities, and a few other exceptions), and I think it changed my life for the better. I enjoyed the author's honesty, her writing style and sense of humor. If you've ever challenged yourself to do something "just because" and discovered something about yourself in the process, you may identify with the author as I did.
