He drove a rental car from New York to Rhode Island to Georgia to Mississippi to Iowa to Minneapolis to Fargo to Seattle, and he chased death and rock 'n' roll all the way. Within the span of twenty-one days, Chuck had three relationships end--one by choice, one by chance, and one by exhaustion. Chuck explored every brand of rock star demise. He wanted to know why the greatest career move any musician can make is to stop breathing. . . and what that means for the rest of us. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - FantasticI'm not into pop culture as much as those around me, but this book was interesting and hysterical. I like the book so much, if Klosterman ever dies tragically, I might trek to the place of his demise. Rating:  - "Death Rides a Pale Horse but I will Drive a Silver Ford Taurus." 3 ½ stars Let's be clear. I am a huge Klosterman guy. I've read Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs several times and quote it liberally. But this book had too much Chuck and not enough dead musicians. It was an inspired premise.

However, that was just a sub-plot as the book was about Chuck Klosterman. It was somewhat interesting but seemed like more of a blog than a book. Rating: - The Flying V Neck of Books...Lives OnChucky K, as I like to call him, does what any good writer should do, keeps the reader engaged and turning the pages from beginning to end. Is Chuck a Nick Hornby, David Eggers, Elizabeth Wurtzel? Well, of those three I've read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and watched the movie High Fidelity based on the book High Fidelity: A Novel of course. And my wife read Prozac Nation (Movie Tie-In) and then we promptly watched Prozac Nation together in which Christina Ricci does a great acting ... Read More Rating: - I can't state enough how much I put into this bookKilling Yourself to Live is a stand out in Klosterman's career. It is not his Spin writings, it is not Fargo Rock City, it is not Sex Drugs and cocoa Puffs, it is a stand out. You don't always have to agree with Klosterman's ideas on music, movies, pop culture ideas. Instead, take the book for what it is, a story about relationships. After reading this book, I took a long hard look at the women in my life and really thought long and hard about the lessons that I could learn from this book. ... Read More
