Book: Killing Yourself To Live

The summer of 2005 my friend Zach told me about the book Killing Yourself To Live by Chuck Klosterman. The premise of the book is Chuck Klosterman, a writer for Spin magazine, driving around the country visiting places where musicians have died. In doing so, he hopes to learn about death and impact it has on musical careers. Zach had me read two passages. Here are mp3's from the audio book:

A Conversation With Mary Beth

and

Kid A as the soundtrack to 9/11

I'm only about halfway through, but it's great so far, and I would definitely recommend it. I guess if the second half is really terrible I'll take this post down, but that seems unlikely.
