Adding the user to the reequest object is done by the authentication
middleware:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/middleware/#django-contrib-auth-middleware-authenticationmiddleware
so it sounds like you are missing at least that (and possibly the session
middleware) from your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES spec in settings.py.
I find it surprising the book does not cover these things (though these
should have been there by default when you ran startproject, so maybe what I
find surprising is that they are not there already in your config).
