Recently pulled up a sample of this book on my Kindle and barely into it knew I had to read the whole thing. What a refreshing and delicious sociological analysis. Who knew we Americans were such an hysterically funny people. Bears remembering when taking ourselves too …more seriously. In addition to humor rivaling any good stand-up comedian's, there is much food for serious reflection. I have ordered copies for various friends and family who I know will similarly enjoy this wonderful book. (less)
