Anyone read this book by Chuck Klosterman? it's basically a collection of essays on pop culture. there are entire chapters devoted to Saved by the Bell, The Real World, Say Anything--- and how they affect life.

it's a fun read. the first chapters are great. i'm losing interest as i'm reaching the end. but the first chapters are super.

he even gives a shout out to Wes Anderson. i can't remember the exact quote. i'll look it up at lunch

I'm a Klosterman fan, I love Fargo Rock City, but I have not read this. I have a hold on it at the library, but it's taking forever. :( I can't wait for it to show up. <p>"Well then I just want to die." - Raleigh St Clair</p>

I've read it, the little one page things between chaptaers are hilarious (especially the one about the cat and the laundry, though that sound like anti-funny as I type it). Very good, funny read.

Some of the chapters are on topics that I don't really care about, but his writing style makes it all interesting to read through. The best chapter is the soccer and little league baseball coach chapter. The Lakers VS Celtics chapter is pretty excellent as well.
