Killing Yourself To Live

Title: Killing Yourself to Live
Author: Chuck Klosterman
Genre: Non-Fiction, Short Story

Chuck Klosterman writes regularly for major magazines ranging Spin to Esquire to ESPN. He is a music aficionado from Fargo, a KISS fanatic, and one of the smarter and more entertaining journalists I've come across. This book chronicles a trip Chuck took across the USA visiting the sites of many deaths of major figures in rock n' roll. Klosterman explores the cultural impacts of these deaths rather than the circumstances that lead to them. The voyage is a backdrop for an exploration into four major relationships of his past, and he intertwines the stories in such a way that you find agape by how well this mix of death, love, and hilarity mesh.

This book might never end up on a list of literary classics but this is still a book for those who appreciate smart writing.

Never read a bad book again

Avid readers:

I'm tired of reading bad books. I know many of you feel the same. Yet every time I am looking for my next read I find myself drawing a blank. I know so many smart people that I have no excuse wasting time with poor literature. For all of you that feel the same I invite you to contribute to this site. Anyone will have the opportunity to peruse the site for their next book, but I would hope that many would like to share their favorite reads. The process is simple: after emailing me for access, every person will have the opportunity to post their book recommendations on the site, write small synopsis and/or what it was that made the book worth reading.

I encourage you all to use this site as often as you like. If this lives up to its potential we will amass enough great literature that none of us will have to read a bad book again.

Regards,

Daniel
