Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas

Chuck Klosterman

Scribner, 2007

This man is funny - no, I mean it. Really funny.
I picked up a copy of Mr. Klosterman's latest book on CD to listen to in my car as a commuter pick-me-up. I hadn't heard of him before and bought the CDs blindly. I needed some driving company and his work seemed as good as any in the store. Let me say that this ...

Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story

Chuck Klosterman

Scribner, 2006

Chuck Klosterman is the kind of man I would want a summer romance with
JUST SHUT UP AND BUY IT. I've read this and a Decade of Dangerous and they are both highly entertaining and very addicting if you are into music, obsessive habits and cosmic ideas. If you do not have a sense of humor, do not buy this book. If laughing out loud in quiet ...
