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 ...

Downtown Owl: A Novel

Chuck Klosterman

Scribner, 2008

engrossing, well-crafted first novel
At first glance, perhaps, you might not think that there would be much here, and in this you'd be very wrong. At the end of the book, on page 273, I found myself wishing that I had another 300-400 pages still to go, but I was unwilling to downgrade the novel to 4 ...

Can I Keep My Jersey?: 11 Teams, 5 Countries, and 4 Years in My Life as a Basketball Vagabond

Paul Shirley

Villard, 2007

for the cynic and the pessimist
For all those people who didn't like this book because of the so-called "whining" and complaining - this book isn't really for them. I suggest they go to the self-help section of the bookstore and grab something there . . . or perhaps join the Oprah Book Club. For ...

Happy Hour Is for Amateurs: A Lost Decade in the World's Worst Profession

Philadelphia Lawyer

William Morrow, 2008

Engaging, brutal and hilarious
This was an enormously entertaining book. But before I jump into the superlatives, I think it's important to make a distinction between this book and the other bourbon-soaked tales of anal sex and professionally hazardous hangovers that this emerging genre has ...

Too Fast For Love: Heavy Metal Portraits

David Yellen

powerHouse Books, 2004

This book rawks!!!
I feel like people in reviews have been a little harsh on this book. Yeah, I could go to a show and see some of the same crowd that's pictured in this book. But I am not going to see every sweet detail like the Black Hills Gold Jewelry and the awful fake nails and the ...
