Eating the Dinosaur Audiobook

" Parts of this were really good and others just didn't work for me. "

" nowhere near as fun as sex drugs and cocoa puffs. the format is sort of interesting and more stream of consciousness, but i am not loving it.... "

" Read it in about four days, so i guess you could say i enjoyed it. The essay on the Unabomber is brilliant. "

" Klosterman, too cool for school? Every now and again I'm impressed. But not consistently. It was more of a resounding "meh." "

" Another Klosterman book, another enjoyable collection of essays about pop culture. "

" I loved Klosterman's take on modern society and how cultural influences are found throughout pretty much everything we do or say or even think. I found this book intriguing in it's philosophical discussions about everything from football plays to the music of ABBA to the Unabomber. "

" this probably shouldn't have been my first Chuck Klosterman book...I liked it, but I wanted to love it. But I didn't, and that made me disproportionately sadder. "

" Just love his stuff. He's so smart and thought- provoking. The fact that it's about pop culture is just the cherry on the sundae. "

" This book made me come to a realizations that I had not wanted to come to for a long time: I am the target demographic for a book sold at Urban Outfitters. "

" Some good essays in this one. I enjoyed it. "

" I understand why he's a target of some people. But I like him for just the reasons those people dislike him. "

" Spot on cultural and media critiques. What fascinates me is the way that Klosterman evolves and builds an idea. Skilful and super entertaining. There was one essay using a sports analogy and I skipped that. "

" Another quirky and sometimes brilliant set of essays by Klosterman. I especially liked his dissection of the cultural importance of Ralph Sampson. If I had to chose between CK and M. Gladwell, I am leaning toward CK. "

" Wow I loved this book. While I grew tired of the music essays, I thought that the whole book was very intriguing. I'm very much so looking forward to my next Klosterman book! "

" Fantastic read. Klosterman's series of essays is entertaining and thought-provoking. Highly recommend to any twentysomething seeking media critique. "

" The usual Klosterman. Some good, some great, some that I skim through. "

" Chuck is always insightful, and some of these essays were really deep. They made me think about myself in a different way, and that's what a good book does. "

" Overall, I really liked Chuck Klosterman's narrative voice. He's a smart guy with lots to say on random topics. I wasn't such a fan of the two sports related essays, but I really liked some of the others, particularly the one about time travel and the one on laugh tracks. Good read. "

" "I'm depressed a lot, usually for no reason (although sometimes I'm just hungry, which often feels the same)." "

" Not sure what I thought...didn't really follow the theme of the book, and I don't think enough like Klosterman (or even follow many of his casual references) to feel like I was having a "conversation" with him. "

" Interesting and thought provoking..but I wouldn't read it again. "

" Not my favorite of his books but it had a couple of gems inside. "

" if only i can be half as persuasive as Chuck in making logical arguments about seemingly crazy topics. Full of interesting ideas, must read for all smartasses. "

" So far it is not nearly as entertaining as Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low-Culture Manifesto. I'm holding onto it for a rainy day. "

" Really this would be like a 3.8. I generally like what Klosterman writes but I expected more "

" I've been picking at this since the start of the year. Chuck Klosterman is always fun to read. I enjoy all of the pop-culture references and all that. The essay on the Unabomber that closes the book is probably my favorite in the collection. "

" La de da look how smart I am. "

" If you like comparing random musicans and sport anologies with social culture and maybe a little sociology than this is the book for you! "

" Interesting stuff. I could have done without the sports references, but I appreciate Chuck Klosterman's selections and input. "

" I never thought that an essay on ABBA would become a literary ear worm for me, but I've been thinking about it for nearly 6 weeks now. You should, too. "

" I don't know why I like Chuck Klosterman so much. No one else I know seems to. Maybe I just like an interestingly constructed argument even if it sounds superfluous or ridiculous when I try to describe it someone 10 minutes later. "
