Is anyone on the board a fan of his work?
I think that some of his observations about popular culture are both brilliant and hilarious. Whenever I consider doing my graduate work in cultural studies, I feel as though it would be pointless, because Klosterman has already said everything I think, but is much wittier and well versed. He has contributed to Spin and written Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, Fargo Rock City and Killing Yourself to Live.
He has a new book out, which is a collection of thoughts, interviews an essays spanning the last ten years. It is titled Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas. I, personally, cannot wait to get my hands on it.

He's entertaining, but he also comes across as being a GIGANTIC prick. It always seems like he's trying really hard to be clever and cool and to prove how much smarter he is than everybody else; I found it endearing for a while, but then it just got to me. Also, he needs to cut back on the semi-colon. He uses the semi-colon like most people use the letter "e".
