I've read half of the three in Henri Lefebvre's Critique of Everyday Life, and although lazily written (to me) it had some quite valid points, especially about the "mystique" people look for to escape the humdrum with. He argues instead people should be looking at why they want magical moments in bullshit (to put it my own way) instead of making the bullshit of everyday life more meaningful without recourse to fantasy (and that fantasy is pressed as consumerism, capitalism, trifling moments that cost a lot giving very little.) It seems particularly apt when you look at people heading towards escapism these days (although he didn't comment about "escapism" in what I've read,) and how people look for silver bullets/amazing events to recontextualise the rest of their time, with this being achieved through spending and capitulating to established, but not beneficial to the everyday, systems.
