Do You Believe in Coincidences?

Today, I met a girl and I found out that she likes Chuck Klosterman and debating.  I have read two of Klosterman's books:

#1- Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, which I thoroughly enjoyed. 

#2- Killing Yourself to Live, the most self-indulgent vanity project I have ever read.  

So, it was clear what I had to do next:  I asked her if she would like to debate Chuck Klosterman.

It turned out, she had only read two of his books as well.  

#1- Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, which she thoroughly enjoyed.

#2- Chuck Klosterman IV, which she also loved.

Since we agreed on "Sex, Drugs..." and hadn't read the same second book, there wasn't much to debate.

Later on in the day I went for a walk down High Street.  Bought myself a smoothie (you know I love smoothies), and headed to a local bookstore (you know I love books!).  I fumbled around a clearance bin where everything was priced at 1 pound.  There was clearly nothing of literary value in the bin, which, I imagine, is why they cost a pound.  I moved on and browsed my favourite sections- travel, classics, languages.

On my current fixed budget I decided it wasn't the best time to indulge, but as I began to leave the store I passed the clearance bin once again and found myself slowing down.  I moved a couple of books around and uncovered one that really caught my eye.  There was a big picture of a beer on the cover- it was a book about home brewing.  But what was underneath was even more interesting; Chuck Klosterman IV.

I dug a one-pound coin out of my pocket.
