I bet you consider yourself middle class. That's the safe zone which almost everyone in our culture has been told they are a part of. The truth is, class is less about money and more about mindset. Do you go fishing? Have you or anyone in your family ever said, 'You do what you gotta do' or 'it's a rough job but someone's gotta do it'? Do you eat sushi? Do you gamble at casinos? Do you vacation out of the country? Do you dress your children in gender specific clothing? Do you listen to NPR? Do you think it's better to fit in or stand out? These are the types of nuances that came to mind when I read this book, which was such an enjoyable read. This really would be enjoyable for anyone interested in class and pop culture. But, for those who grew up poor or in a working class home, this is your book. It's about breaking from (and trying to stay in touch with) the "old school" values that must be left behind when first generation college go-ers leave home and ultimately, work their way into the middle class.
