This book is a good (if outdated) exploration of class in the US. It takes all of our ideas about ourselves and offers tongue in cheek anecdotes meant to take us all down a peg. I spent most of the book laughing and rolling my eyes while trying to figure out which class this guy belonged to. I think he is a high prole who has tried to escape into the class x category (that he made up himself).

Given the state of education and the downward spiral of the economy, I totally understand what he is saying about the "prolization" of America. Heretofore, I was calling it Britneyspearization or Disneyization, but his term is much better. Read this book to open your eyes to class in America (taking everything with a grain of salt), then watch Social Class in America on PBS (have another grain of salt), then read Working on the chain gang by Walter Mosley, and begin your journey in social consciousness.
