The God that is Sufjan Stevens

I really liked reading the introduction by Sufjan Stevens in "The Best American Nonrequired Reading" because the story was like his songs; random and wonderful! One of the things that really stood out to me about this story is the title, "How I Trumped Rudolf Steiner and Overcame the Tribulations of Illiteracy, One Snickers Bar at a Time." This stood out to me because someone who is not familiar with Sufjan Steven's work would read the title and be like what the hell?! Because the title is so long it might turn people off or turn people on to his work because you know it has to be something good with a title like that, just like his songs. I have listened to his cd's "Illinois" and "Michigan," but this is the first thing that I have read from him, but after reading this story I will certainly read more of his work!
