Has anyone read the book Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto? I was told by two people, one a friend and one stranger, that it was pretty good, so now I'm thinking about getting it. I also figured that since it's a bunch of essays then I can put it down when I have exams and be able to pick it back up later with no problem. 9/21/2009 11:12:26 PM |

excellent book, though I think I enjoyed Killing Yourself To Live a little more. All of his non-fiction books are enjoyable though in a hipster sort of way. 9/21/2009 11:40:42 PM |

He's pretty much an elitist douche...

His take on Folsom Prison Blues in that book is the best paragraph you will read in a while. 9/22/2009 9:02:25 AM |
