He reminds me of Chuck Palahniuk so much .
Whenever i read either of their books , i get so annoyed and frustrated at their boring repetitiveness that i'm throwing it accross the room, until i come accross either of their signature lil nuggets of truth . Both of them do that , how everythign they write seems to be written around little sentences or single paragraphs that somehow lay down a perfect insight into modern life, and they are grabbing enough to make me persist through the entire novel .
Invisible monsters by CP is FULL of it . the entire thing is quotable, and is really fantastic . Diary on the other hand, is a fucking joke . FUCK !
Generation X by Coupland is one of his gems, for sure . ive read several others and they are "ok" . The novels that follow Gen X get more and more snotty .
Oh, Right . Microserfs is actually fantastic as well . its about a bunch of young computer programmers in the very early nineties searching for their lives, that sorta thing .
