ABBA to AC/DC and Everything Intertwined

Eating the Dinosaur is a book that I know I will re-read at least a couple of times. I would love to give you a sense of what the book is about, but I'm still trying to sort it out myself. I guess I would say that it is a series of essays by Chuck Klosterman revolving around media and introspection.

I think.

I read this over two flights and was very sad when I reached the last page. I can't think of the last book I read that was not dominated by conversations. ( other than technical books ) The writing style is relaxed and conversational, which is one of the main reasons I enjoyed it so much.

You have to appreciate an author who writes extensive sections about football, but gives you explicit permission to skip them. I didn't and I was not the worse for it.

Jon should read this immediately when I loan it to him, but Mom should pass.
