Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs - Chuck Klosterman

A slightly indulgent take on popular culture that inherently makes it a dated work. The insights weren't really bright but came across as attempting to take a slightly offbeat hypothesis and then 'proving' it through circular arguments that filled a chapter. Some were intriguing to at least contemplate while others really weren't worth the trip. The writing was fine and it did inspire to look for hidden meanings or truths in popular culture but the problem is that there are very few truths to be found there and that makes this book not fully worth its time.
