| | Powell's Books - Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto by Chuck Klosterman |
 | | Now, in the natural successor to that acclaimed debut, he examines every cultural phenomenon of modern times, from Internet porn to tribute bands, from Billy Joel to basketball rivalries, in a book as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. |
 | | Part hipster rant, part (semi-) sophisticated cultural criticism, Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs is filled with observations that will have every reader laughing in recognition. |
 | | Each topic is connected by small passages that pull together a massive cultural quilt, one that Chuck has stitched to "playfully help people understand what they know through who they are." Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs is an intelligent look at the "trivial" subjects that shape our lives, and a compulsively readable gem. |
