Douglas Coupland

Just wondering how many Douglas Coupland fans were on GC? I was @ Barnes & Noble tonight & saw his new book is out. [Hey Nostradamus![/u]. Which made me very happy as I thought it wasn't coming out until like the second week of July.

Not than I could buy it, I'm too poor for now.

My favorite books of his so far are Generation X, Girlfriend in a Coma & All Families are Psychotic

So any other fans? Fave books?

I've read Microserfs and I like the style he writes with there, but I haven't read anything else that he's written.

I read Shampoo Planet when I was 13. I liked it, but I haven't read anything else. Do any of you suggest anything?

He is a high school classmate of my oldest sister! True story! I read Generation X and that was it.

I couldn't get through Generation X; it just didn't hold my attention. I've been wanting to read Girlfriend in a Coma, though so maybe I'll get my azz to the library and check it out.

I've read Generation X and liked it - I think I picked up Shampoo Planet and tried a chapter or two but I felt like he was too concious of writing, or something.
