Killing Yourself to Live

At first I wasn't so much interested in this book. I don't have a clue what he is talking about when he mentions rock stars and rock bands since I don't know much or I should say anything at all about rock music except that it is pretty loud. But thinking about the meaning of it and how people become famous after they die, pretty much makes alot of sense. Not only with rock stars but with everyday normal people, just random people that we don't know much about when they die we hear all these stories about them and how they lived their lives, we learn more about them and get to be sometimes more curious about their lives. I think the title is true to almost anyone that dies, they become more famous or known after their death.
The paragraph which we had to write a paper about, caught my eye even before we were assigned to write the paper, it made me think about all the things that were normal before and are not normal anymore. As for another part that I found interesting was the part about Chuck's nemesis, he was kind of his enemy but his friend at the same time, or was he just using him for a place to stay and for his own convenience, made me think about how people treat others or think of others at times. I kind of see where this book is going, actually the title and his work assignment says it all, when rock stars die they become more famous. I don't see why he needed to go to the places where they died, he didn't learn much by going there, he could have done more research online, but then again it was his assignment for work. About all the girls he talks about he just seems like he is lost and doesn't really know what he wants from life, thinking about one girl for a minute and another girl at another minute, he just seems really confused. I am going to read the rest of the book over the weekend. Hopefully he has some kind of good ending.
