    I always enjoy Chuck Klosterman's collections of essays. His way of looking at pop culture and how he interprets it and consumes it into his own thoughts is always very reminiscent to how myself (and by extension my friends that I discuss pop culture with) do as well. He seems to have similar idioms and thought processes and habits that I have, which makes reading him far more enjoyable - than maybe it should be or that it would be to others?, I'm not sure - so that helps me internalize what I'm reading with him.

    This collection is mostly essays and some interviews. The interviews were interesting for the time pieces and the persons he was interviewing (Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, Taylor Swift, etc.). Some of the essays - in regards to things of a pop culture and political sense on a whole - were pretty good. Some of his essays on music (since I'm not a huge music 'mark') fell a bit on death ears outside of the music I listen to (rock in a mainstream sort of way).

    This took me far longer to finish than it should have though and was a bit of a slog, but it's probably his biggest collection of essays/works in one volume though too. But still definitely worth the read, especially for any Kolsterman fan.
