Someone in my office was kind enough to give me this book a few weeks back. I have walked by this Chuck Klosterman paperback about a zillion times at Borders – always mildly interested – but never pulling the trigger.
My bad for not grabbing it sooner.
His deconstruction of pop culture and mass media left me thinking……..that even the most dim-witted events of the past 30 years have had some semblance of importance. Rather than being cynical about anything and everything, he was able to draw parallels to those things that actually matter. It takes some serious talent to extract substance from the likes of Pamela Anderson, The Zodiac Killer and MTV’s Real World**.
**Excluding season 1 and 3. Which you have to admit……were pretty damn good (Kevin, Puck, etc..).

This book looks fun and interesting. However, I can’t help noticing the title includes an incorrect comma after the word “drugs.”
