#0081A Eating the Dinosaur - Chuck Klosterman

I realize that I haven't been posting recently. I'm still trucking along reading almost everyday and I"m 17 books behind. I get busy and don't see home much. But today I am home and going to try to update as much and frequent as possible.

Eating the Dinosaur...I seriously bought this book because of the cover. What is that saying? "You can't judge a book by it's cover"? I'm not really sure what I read here. Even finishing I was a bit confused and if you are interested in this book, try reading the back. It seems like the author didn't know what was going on. It's mostly short essays of what it is important or interesting to Klosterman. Some were quite interesting to me except for one on sports, and even then it tells, in the first paragraph, what the essay is about and tells you that it's fine to skip it. I did. I don't enjoy sports, but I'm entitled to my own likes and dislikes so I'm sure if you are a fan of sports then the essay was fine. Would I read any more Klosterman books? If they are all just full of essays then probably not. I'm looking for a good story, good information. I"m not really looking for reading random things all in one book. It was, however, written well and it held my attention so 3 stars
