Get a life, Brooks

You've really got to wonder about a guy who spends his time writing an entire book about what is just another case of "white flight," coining a new term for it ("exurbia"), and then trying to elevate it to the status of "culture."

Here's some news for ya: just because "white flight" has gone corporate and managed to become more insular than ever doesn't make it a fucking cultural movement.

More news: that you had a problem finding a bookstore in "exurbia" where you could do a signing is incredible. Where the fuck do you think you're going to find a Borders or Barnes & Noble Megastore, Dave?
