I like Chuck Klosterman a lot (not least because he has some fantastically healthy attitudes towards the universe, and a generalized nonjudgmental ethos). I liked this book a lot! Hands-down the best piece, for me, is his heavily-footnoting revisiting of an article he wrote as a very young man. Most of the footnotes are devoted to shredding the article, his attitudes, and his pretentions. Lots of other great stuff here (the Radiohead piece is fascinating, and added a book to my to-read queue), but Josh says most of what's worth saying about it. I think I want to be Klosterman's buddy.
