Dead End Gene Pool

Well, I just finished listening to Dead End Gene Pool by Wendy Burden. (I enjoy listening to books on tape (CD) while in my car. It makes sitting at all of the lights on Route 9 so much more enjoyable.) This book was incredible. I am amazed that someone would want to put all of that in writing for the world to read. It reminded me of Angela's Ashes only this is about the uber wealthy. The book is a memoir and Wendy is a descendent of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Unbelievable. The rich are so different in so many ways, but I don't think they are happier! I am not sure why she wrote this book as she mocked her grandfather for writing his memoir in her (this) book. Anyway, if you're up for some trash and want to learn about how the rich love their alcohol, drugs and porn, pick up this book. Otherwise, stick to something more rewarding.
