Here’s a bit of pop for your summer: a collection of essays and interviews from a prolific writer (and pontificator) on all things pop culture — everything you probably argued about with your college roommate (Is Eddie Van Halen the greatest rock guitar player of all time? Why doesn’t he listen to music?!?). Klosterman went into the weeds of the past 10 years of his work to compile (and comment on) this collection, and the result is a best-of, with classic interviews you appreciated the first time (Taylor Swift), essays you probably missed (on exactly why Charlie Brown is so beloved) and the story of perhaps the most amazing basketball game ever, which no one knows about. Read, enjoy, throw the book when the pontificator angers, then pick it up again and keep going because you have to.
