Our next book is Class by Paul Fussell

In Class: A Guide Through the American Status System Paul Fussell explodes the sacred American myth of social equality with eagle-eyed irreverence and iconoclastic wit. This bestselling, superbly researched, exquisitely observed guide to the signs, symbols, and customs of the American class system is always outrageously on the mark. Class is guaranteed to amuse and infuriate, whether your class is so high it's out of sight (literally) or you are, alas, a sinking victim of prole drift.


We'll be meeting to discuss this book on April 8th at the Main Library in Conference Rm 3 at noon. Feel free to bring a lunch.
