Reading List: Interior Desecrations
- Lileks, James. Interior Desecrations: Hideous Homes from the Horrible '70s. New York: Crown Publishers, 2004. ISBN 1-4000-4640-8.
- After turning your tastebuds inside out with The Gallery of Regrettable Food, Lileks now tackles what passed for home decoration in the 1970s. Seldom will you encounter a book which makes you ask "What were they thinking?" so many times. It makes you wonder which aspects of the current scene will look as weird twenty or thirty years from now. Additional material which came to hand after the book was published may be viewed on the author's Web site.
