Mark Reviews: Sex, Drugs, And Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman

As I glanced over the back of "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs" (SDCP), I became aware that it wouldn't be the first work by Klosterman that I had read. I first stumbled upon some of his articles in Spin Magazine, in my opinion one of the few music magazines that features writers who know what they're talking about, and are passionate about music.

SDCP is labeled as a Low Culture Manifesto. Overall it's more of an exposition on the culture of my early life, and as my brother put it, "was written for [his] generation". Klosterman explores everything from Pam Anderson as the modern day Marilyn Monroe, to Left Behind; tackling the important questions of our times like, whatever happened to the Tori character on Saved by the Bell.

The book is a quick easy read, that will make you chuckle as you find yourself saying, "i always thought the same thing!"

Although it may be a little late to say, "ask for it for Christmas" maybe you could grab it for the New Year.

i mean... the book has an index!
