Book Log 2008 #48: House Lust by Daniel McGinn
I read this a while ago and apparently forgot to log it, but from what I can remember this was a pretty good survey of the ways property ownership - either in one's own house or in investment property in a state you may never visit - has gotten people to go off the deep end in both good and bad ways. I think it'd be a more interesting read in the wake of all the subprime nonsense, and I'd love to catch up with some of the people in the book to see how they're faring.
