Ugly people write funny. I just finished his "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs." Does anyone know if his other books are as entertaining? (and do u agree with my theory?)

....uhh....yeah, your 'Theory'.....hard to do a survey/poll on the statistical relavance of this claim....too many variables...........like 'perspective' for one thing........

I consider myself living proof! :lol:

Unfortunately (or fortunately), I have never read any works by Chuck Klosterman, but a good friend of mine considers himself an avid fan. He has read, and told me much about, Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, Killing Yourself to Live, and Fargo Rock City and he loved all of them, claiming each seemed very unique, but had the same style of odd humor that drew him to each work.
Maybe I will get around to reading some of Kosterman's books someday, but he sounds rather peculiar. ;)

"Killing Yourself to Live" remained very Klosterman-esque. Random, hilarious, and unexected. I'd rather not spoil it. :]
