Urban Tribes by Ethan Watters

This is a look at the culture of the 20 & 30 somethings of our generation; how friendship circles are built and what role they provide in a person's life, why are people marrying later and later and putting off having children: if marrying or having children at all, are we isolated from a sense of community?, have we become too independent and selfish? These are the questions that Ethan Watters is working through in this book. It started out interestingly enough but quickly slowed and by the time I was nearing the middle I had lost all interest. I started flipping pages and skimming for anything that caught my eye but ended up putting it down for good to start on something new without finishing it. It didn't capture my attention the same way that 'Crazy Like Us' had done.
