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.

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.

He's pretty much an elitist douche...

I'm sure it's a hit with most of the TWW crew that posts in entertainment on the reg.

His take on Folsom Prison Blues in that book is the best paragraph you will read in a while.
