Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay (1979)

We were discussing the David Macaulay books like Cathedral and Castle at the reference desk, after getting an email from a colleague about a project to build a medieval monastery using only 9th century tools and living in 9th century style. Greg mentioned this spoof of a book, written as if in the 41st century, after doing an archeological dig on a motel. It was amusing, describing the TV as an altar and the toilet as a sacred urn. Reminded me that I should read some more of the more serious Macaulay books.
