Spotting one of my favorite cereals in the title of this book, I was immediately intrigued. What I found, though, is that it didn’t have much to do with breakfast at all. Klosterman wrote quirky and witty pieces of social commentary that frequently verbalized thoughts I hadn’t yet even realized I was thinking. Is Coldplay really the harbinger of “fake love” and thus our ultimate unhappiness? Is playing soccer only for kids doomed to be social outcasts?

The real gem here, though, is the “23 Questions I Ask Everybody I Meet In Order To Decide If I Can Really Love Them.” Take note as these could potentially make for great icebreakers, or deal breakers, depending on your answers.
