Chuck Klosterman Rocks - Pt. 1

Okay, so I have mentioned to some of you that my SBFF Kaitlin and I do a book exchange, and I have to share some quotes from her latest send to me that I absolutely love. The book is "Killing Yourself to Live" by Chuck Klosterman, which is basically the tale of a journalist who is riding around the country sharing randomness as he works on an epic article about how music legends have died. Seriously... you must read this book, because I just started it today and I'm already halfway through it!

"People at Spin ridicule me for wearing khaki shorts to work, always insisting that I look like a tourist. I don't care. We're all tourists, sort of. Life is tourism, sort of. As far as I'm concerned, the dinosaurs still hold the lease on this godforsaken rock." (pg. 4)

"Let me begin by saying this: Death is a part of life. Generally, it's the shortest part of life, usually occurring near the end. However, this is not necessarily true for rock stars; sometimes rock stars don't start living until they die. I want to understand why that is." (pg. 11)

"All the message said was, 'I don't know who that blonde girl was, but she is superfoxy X 1,000.' Sarah forwarded this message to Lenore, which (of course) was precisely my plan; anytime you tell a woman something positive about one of her female friends, the friend will be informed of this statement within 48 hours" (pg. 28)-- PS... soooooo true

"Artists who believe they have any control over the interpretation of their work are completely fooling themselves." (pg. 58)

All right... those are a few little morsels that I thought that I would share with you all... Now I am off to bed so I can run a 5K in the morning. Go get the book please!!!
