I just finished reading Hillbilly Elegy. The content of the book is not necessarily a focus on my recreational reading. I read the book after listening to an interview with the author and the suggestion that it provided a possible insight into the peculiar political divide that differentiates white males with and without a college education. Why do less well-educated white males lean toward a republican perspective. I am not certain I understand what this connection is. However, I did find this to be a very interesting read and would recommend it for anyone attempting to understand income-related differences in background and the commitment to education.
