There's a couple more I'm sure that I'm not remembering.
I'm hoping to get 'Low Culture Manifesto' through interlibrary loan, but I'm not sure if it'll 'get through'. What did you think of it?
I loved it... I'm gonna buy it now... but then I loved Klosterman before I read it... It's a good read, kind of an intellectual look at things that most people would never consider looking at that way. Very insightful, and very funny.
