Bobos in Paradise:
The New Upper Class and How They Got There
David Brooks

David Brooks has written a clever book, hoping that his cute hybrid term, "Bourgeouis Bohemian" (Bobo for short), will catch on among the snootier set, the so-called "new upper middle class" that he is trying to describe. These are the socially conscious consumers, the Zen careerists who somehow balance the values of "the sixties" with those of "the eighties," those who drive their Range Rovers to Starbucks, those who enjoy erotica but consider flirting harassment, those who brag about their educational credentials, not their ancestors. "Bobos In Paradise" is witty and entertaining, but only to people who see themselves as some sort of Bobo. Otherwise, why would you care?--DrSuzyB
