| | | JPod I'm just over halfway through this, anyone else read it?
I'm enjoying it but I can't get over the casual murder of Tim the Biker at the beginning of the book, I know it's comedy but still...I find it easier to accept the Chinese gangster scenario
What did you think of the book? And Coupland writing himself into it?
For the record I've read all of his stuff up to Hey Nostradamus then lost intrest for a while. My favourites are Microserfs and Generation X. |

| | | Yeah I was going to take a look when I finished the book, I can't believe none of his books have been made into films yet. |

| | he made a movie for Souveniers of Canada...it is pretty interesting.
Also there is part of SoC that has stuff from his Terry book.
He is working on getting a few made...
Everything's Gone Green is on dvd now.
We went to a testing of this play in Calgary before he performed it in England...
