Posted: 8/13/2005 6:18:02 PM | | i'm completely serious when i say this but "Class : A Guide Through the American Status System" by paul fussell was amazing. i wouldn't consider it a life changer but it's definitely an eye-opener. it's a book on sociology by a man who has absolutely no background in it. i highly recommend it if you want a good, short and funny read. | |
