Bobos in Paradise by David Brooks
Published May 23, 2005
I understand that I hold to an exclusivistic view of God which most Bobos don't, but I would encourage them to consider that if there truly is a God out there, He may not succumb to being defined by each person in his or her own way.
Having said all of that, I recommend the book highly. It's truly an enjoyable read and it will be so fun, you'll forget you are learning anything.

You think he was trying to be amusing?
The word Bobo has been around for a long long time btw.
At least Brooks speaks his mind.
I'm sure there was a good deal of double entendre in the title. But it is actually a conflation of the words bohemian and bourgeoise
How about that PJ Rourke. Ann Coulter. Michelle Malkin. How do you think they compare to The Brooks-man on the hilarity scale?

I read most of this book standing next to a table on an airport concourse a year or so ago. It was so good, I couldn't put it down to go find a seat.
By the time I finished, there were three other travelers standing there reading the book, drawn by my snickers (and a few outright guffaws). I don't know how many got sold that way, but it's definitely an amusing book!
