Floating City: A Rogue Sociologist Lost And Found In New York's Underground Economy (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

Minus one star for losing me at the end but overall, it rocked my world. I've since decided that my resolution for 2015 is to read more non-fiction. Because sometimes non-fiction is the bomb. And you learn shit. Also, this really made me miss college. As an anthro major, all I read was ethnographies and I just really love that style of writing, maybe that's why I like travel books so much. A good writer, but the book itself was a little weak. Mostly about prostitutes in NYC, mixed in with some stuff about coke dealers, and a little bit about the porn business and strip clubs, and a lot about his own issues and then some more about academics and the field of sociology. All interesting topics but a little too mixed up together. Actually, if he wasn't such a good writer this would have been crap, but I'd give it 3.5 stars if that was possible.
