Who buys $1,000 glasses for themselves, let alone ones they do not want? And his other reasons for buying them- (1) to avoid an argument (2) to avoid a further excursion to other eyeglass stores and (3) to get laid- do not help the opinion I already have of this Chuck Klosterman. The whole decision just sounds ridiculous- more so because of his reasonings behind it- but after getting a sense of the person he his from reading his book, I can see how he would make a choice like that.
The brief section where Body Integrity Identity Disorder was mentioned caught my intention. I never knew a disorder such as this existed or that anyone could ever be compelled to mutilate their body by chopping off limbs. It was odd and grotesque to say the least.
I did enjoy his elaborate telling of the night he spent with his Nemesis and Uma Thurman. The fact that all night he thought something was going to happen between him and the girl and then nothing ever did. Just another example of how his life seems to be driven by (a) music and (b) believing that every girl wants him (or maybe that's just the vibe I was getting from the book.)
Did anyone else get taken back by the $160 a month apartment he use to rent?
