"Watch out for mastodons"
-Killing Yourself to Live

Indeed, the Chuck I am talking about is none than the one and only Chuck Klosterman. My dear friend Chuck is a writer. He is a non-fiction writer infact, and loves to write essays. Not just any essays, but funny and entertaining essays full of wonderful cultural references that make you feel smart if you get them, and slightly dumb if you don't. Minus Chuck's slight superiority complex, I really enjoy reading Chuck and his work.
I first heard about Chuck in LA, and decided to go hit up the B&N the next chance I got. And so I did. There, i found the jackpot. A book by Chuck, ON THE CLEARANCE RACK. I must have done something good in a past life to deserve this, I thought at the time. Maybe I was a Buddhist priest, perhaps the Dalai Lama. I'll never know. Anywho, I see this book for 5 bucks, and being the great bargain shopper I am, I can't resist. So as I'm checking out, the cashier tells me this is a really good book. Well, gee, I'm stoked now. If a cashier at B&N liked my choice, it must be good. And boy was it ever. So over the next week, I read the whole book, sad to put it down at night when I had to go to bed, and by the time I get to the end, I've decided that if Chuck ever started his own religion, I would so join.
