Has anyone read Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America"?  I just 
picked it up at a used book store because a lot of sociologists say it's a 
must read.  He coined the term "habits of the heart" that inspired Bellah.

I am wondering which parts I should read.  If you have any thoughts, respond 
to me individually.

thanks,
