18) Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman
A lot of laughs, but Klosterman actually started to annoy me about halfway through the book. There were certain segments that I found myself completely relating to, and a few others that fell short of my attention.
oops, lost track of the date and posted this in the wrong thread..
I'm currently working through Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman. Overall I'm having a lot of laughs, but there are a few chapters I could do without.
