Chuck Klosterman is perhaps the greatest pop culture authoritarian of our generation. His books are a compendium of growing up with glam rock, college life, living in Manhattan and growing up in a small town. I must say I think some of his earlier contemporaries were just as gifted (mainly Brett Easton Ellis, Jay McInerny and Chuck Palahinuk) but Klosterman's message is clearly the least vile and most readable.
I really appreciate his random musings on topics like: serial killers, reality TV, the Sims, getting pulled over for speeding in Montana, and so forth...
If you have not read one of his books (I fancy Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs and Killing Yourself to Live myself), do so right away.
