![]() Perhaps if I had any inclination of his prior writings I would have avoided this from the beginning. I have never read nor heard of Klosterman before this book. But at the same time, it kinda does sum up the vibe of the entire book so there’s that. The very last sentence of the book (which is about 9/11) reads: “The flights were hijacked, the planes crashed into buildings, 2,977 people died, and the nineties collapsed with the skyscrapers." Boom. Plus I can’t think of a worse ending to a book. I did learn some interesting things I’ll share with you, but it’s not a book I would recommend to the majority of people. It had an overall vibe of over-analysis, pondering random things and dissecting them into oblivion. ![]() I was largely unaware of most of what happened in the 90s.Īnd Klosterman highlights every bit of those happenings in this book with what felt like a pretentious, hard to grasp, disjointed writing voice. I call myself a 90s kid but being born in 1990 puts you in a different category- I’m not Generation X. He didn’t even talk about the phone so that’s a pretty big first strike!!! I always wanted one of those phones and this book was nominated for Best Humor so I thought it was going to be a nostalgic joy to read. I just saw the title and the cover and thought- yes. ![]() ![]() I don’t think I did enough research before I put this book on my list of most anticipated books. ![]()
