All Families are Psychotic: A Novel
Douglas Coupland
Bloomsbury USA, 2002
Outstanding book...
+ Satire seems psychotic
This book was a wild rollercoaster of a ride. Twists and turns, happy and unhappy moments...this book has it all. I always enjoy reading about people who can find beauty in the negative/ugly aspects of life. All Families are Psychotic has the ability to dig deep down inside your soul, making you ...

Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture
Douglas Coupland
St. Martin's Griffin, 1991
fellow slackers
+ Coupland writes on growing up (these are my scattered thoughts)
+ So accurate
This one is a gem for Gen X-ers like myself. It makes me feel like a part of a generation and not some independent under-achiever.
I envy the three main characters being able to spend so much time together. They are from relatively well off families, which I can't relate to, but it does show ...

1867: How the Fathers Made a Deal
Christopher Moore
McClelland & Stewart, 1998
Detailed and interesting without dragging
A fine volume that, while sometimes exploring the depths of issues, moved along at a good pace and held my attention throughout. I appreciated that Mr. Moore generally assumed the best about the characters' intentions, regardless of their politics. His profiles of the characters were ...

powerHouse Books, 2000
an accidental find
It's a very pretty book if that's what you're looking for but what I was looking for were more works by Douglas Coupland. I wish they would differentiate on Amazon on different authors of the same name.

Douglas Coupland is an amazing writer and Hey Nostradamus! is more proof of his greatness.

Girlfriend in a Coma
Douglas Coupland
Harper Perennial, 1999
A Story about Friends, Love and the End of the World
+ I find your lack of faith disturbing.
This Stephen Kingesque story follows a group of friends who live on Rabbit Street in Vancouver, BC as they grow from their senior year in high school to their mid-thirties. Jarrod, or rather his ghost, narrates the first chapter. He was the jock, the football player who balled all the hot chicks, ...

Kiss Me, Judas
Will Christopher Baer
MacAdam/Cage, 2006
re: typos
+ An urban legend brought into novel form
For everyone wondering about the typos. This is a reprint from the original Viking release and as a consequence MacAdam/Cage had to retype the books in full. After that, someone was paid to read the book and thoroughly check/fix typos.
This man didn't do his job and the book suffered. Don't ...
