9: Eating the Dinosaur by Chuck Klosterman

9: Eating the Dinosaur by Chuck Klosterman


In Episode 9 Gen and Jette talk about Eating the Dinosaur by Chuck Klosterman, our 2018 September/October book club selection. Klosterman is one of Jette’s favourite writers, so we were always going to read one of his essay collections. Rather than dive into every essay in the collection, we pick and choose some of our favourites.

It was so much fun to read Eating the Dinosaur and chat about such a wide variety of topics, as well as Klosterman’s writing style (footnotes, anyone?). And it sparked a mind blowing, twisty conversation where we try to figure out time travel.

Can you tell we were censoring ourselves and trying not to swear to maintain our clean content rating?
