Bookspotting

When: Early afternoon Monday 9/15/03
Where: A park bench in Larchmont (A tony neighborhood in L.A.)
Who: Twenty-something man
What: Bobos In Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There by David Brooks.
Description: "Once it was easy to distinguish the staid Bourgeois from the radical Bohemians. This field study of America's latest elite--a hybrid Brooks calls the Bobos--covers everything from cultural artifacts to Bobo attitudes towards sex, morality, work, and leisure."

Anyone else like to go bookspotting?
