Everyone who comes to my house looks at this book. It is the favourite on the coffee table. It not only suggests hobbies, but also inspires us to look again at those we already indulge in, and modify them. Good value for money.

In the first week some pages came off and, sadly, there's no "Book repair" hobby in this book! But there are some like "Read"..

All Grown Up and Nothing to Do
14 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
That's where I was when I found this book. I took the little test and came out with not very many choices, I thought. But I read through each hobby definition for my "types" and I'll be darned if it didn't come up with 3 activities that I definitely plan to pursue. I needed this. You forget as you age and some of the responsibility starts dropping off, just exactly who you are and what it is you like to do - just for your own entertainment. It was a blessing to me and I plan to really enjoy this summer as I start pursuing my new hobbies. Thanks, Tina.

A Great Gift Idea
10 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
In Get a Hobby!, author Tina Barseghian has compiled "101 All-Consuming Diversions for Any Lifestyle." The book opens with a slightly tongue-in-cheek quiz to determine your hobby personality. Each of the 101 hobbies is given a two-page spread which includes all of the essentials:
* overview
* history
* what you'll need
* resources (books and websites)
* a project
* and sometimes a neat section that offers additional suggested hobbies if you already enjoy this hobby.
I think that this book would be a great gift for a college graduate, retiree, or even for a wedding shower along with some of the resources or project supplies suggested for hobbies you think might interest them.

A great overview of hobbies and hobbyists!
18 May 2007
Format:Paperback
I attended Tina's book signing in th Bay Area recently and was impressed not only with the variety of hobbies reviewed--from falconry to building Bible scenes from Leggos to animal husbandry--but with the interesting profiles of the people behind the hobby. The book recounts some great stories about hobbyists that provide insight into the hobby and the joy that people find in their hobbies. I'd recommend this book to anyone who was interested in exploring a new hobby or is just curious about the variety of hobbies out there. Who knows, you might pick up a new hobby you'd never dreamed of. The book made me want to take my scrapbooking to a new level. Thanks Tina for this inspiring book.
