The Peculiar Life of Sundays Book

There were some interesting points, but what really struck me was what Miller's examination of historical figures' Sundays did NOT add to his book. Rather than illuminating the variations of Sunday observance through the years, it seems to go the other way, i.e. using Sunday practices to highlight each individual's personal contradictions and failings. There were numerous occasions where I was double-checking that I was still reading about the same person because the information was completely opposite to Miller's initial analysis. The history sections petered out around the 1/3 mark, at which point the book really became a slog.
