    Killing Yourself To Live

    I missed Bret's endorsement of Chuck Klosterman's Killing Yourself To Live when it was originally released. Here's the blurb from the back cover:
    "I can't think of a more sheerly likable writer than Chuck Klosterman and his old-fashioned, all-American voice: bighearted and direct, bright and unironic, optimistic and amiable, self-deprecating and reasssuring - with a captivating lack of fuss or pretension. He's also genuinely funny and I pretty much agree with everything he says." - Bret Easton Ellis
    The Australian just put up a review of the book, thats what reminded me of Bret's back-cover blurb.

    Maybe it wouldn't take him so long to write a novel if he didn't read and compose a quote on every single book his publisher sends him.

    It's so hard to take these quotes even halfway seriously after what Bret wrote about such things in "Lunar Park." After that, every quote Bret lends to others' novels just comes off as hilarious.
