K is for Killing Yourself to Live by Chuck Klosterman. He goes on a cross-country journey to visit the places where famous musicians died. On his journeys he grows very introspective about his different relationships with women, his relationship with himself, and the relationship between living and dying.
I really enjoy his writing style. He writes a little like how I talk. He has a great ‘ear’ for dialogue making this book very readable. I ended up quoting several things on Twitter.
Klosterman will probably remind you of either yourself or one of your friends. He’s an interesting guy with a good sense of humor and interesting taste in music. He has the pop culture pretension of a hipster but the desperation of a normal guy. His ultimate conclusion after his epic journey? “It seems like love and death and rock n’ roll are the same experience.”
