For the reading there were two parts of the book I really enjoyed. One part that stuck out to me was on pages 143-144. He was discussing how he and Tweedy spent hours talking in his backyard and Klosterman didn't see anything wrong with Tweedy, a day later, he checked himself into rehab for painkillers. I liked how Klosterman wrote: But maybe we're all pretending. Nobody can control anything, really. This is definitely true. Many people put on a good show in front of their friends/family, but inside they maybe going through alot. People really do not have control over certain situations.
Another part of the story I liked was on page 157. This page talks about "our nation's relationship with time." Like Klosterman, the time thing also has me confused. At parties, people usually are never on time because they don't want to be the first ones there. I like to be on time for everything, so this usually isn't the case for me. I always have to get to the movies early to get a good seat, but end up having to wait 45 minutes before it actually starts. Klosterman made a good point: In the U.S., it does seem that every activity operates within its own unspoken, individual schedule.
