"Philistines at the Hedgerow"

Philistines at the Hedgerow: Passion and Property in the Hamptons (Steven Gaines)

Here's one I feel bad about. This book is entertainingly breezy and gossipy, but the subject - rich assholes with too much money - is too overbearing for me to enjoy. My blood pressure just kept going up as I read about various assholes with too much money until I realized that not only was I not enjoying this book, but getting annoyed on my lunch break reading about assholes with too much money is probably not the best idea. Still, it's well-written enough and brisk-moving, so YMMV.

Grade: :(
