I am currently tearing through Chuck Klosterman’s KILLING YOURSELF TO LIVE, and goddamn if it isn’t the fucking most awesome book I’ve read in… well, probably ever. How do you know this is true? Look at me, I’m swearing up a storm. Usually I just restrain myself to “Mother puss bucket!” when I need to swear. Forget how the jacket flap and other online sources describe this thing. You’d think you’d want to kill yourself after ten pages, but that ain’t so. If you’ve ever read any Klosterman, you know that he’s funny and dead-on about various cultural phenomena. I thought maybe he had gone soft or was perhaps depressed from what I read in advance, but thankfully, I WAS WRONG… Get this book now. It might even CHANGE YOUR LIFE (no warranty expressed or implied as to the life-changing properties of said product. Use at own risk. Your mileage may vary.)
