@ Powells
With the rain finally returning to Portland, I figured tonight would be a good night to visit Powells and sit in their coffee shop, sipping tea while reading various books. As always, I went in to Powells know exactly which book I wanted. In this case it was Generation X by Douglas Coupland. While browsing Coupland, I read the back of Mircoserfs and it sounded really good. I grabbed both books and headed to the coffee shop. Unfortunately everyone in Portland had the same idea and it was packed. Grr. So I decided to browse the store. I remembered an author I wanted to check out. Jonathan Amos I think was his name. I went to the As but couldn’t find him. Maybe I got his name wrong, I think to myself. Using one of their computers I searched for the only book title by Jonathan Amos that I knew, The Good Man. No results. Ok, I think. I have the author’s name and book title wrong. Whatever. I get over it and use IndieBound app on my iPhone to check my list of books. I discover that what I really meant was The Extra Man by Jonathan Ames. So close. I go back to the As and look one shelf up.On my list I saw that I had a book called Swish by Joel Derfner which seemed interesting. At one point I had five books in hand when really I just came in to buy one. In the end I walked out with Generation X and Swish.

Nice…did you know that Coupland has a new book coming out called Generation A? I started Generation X about a month ago and haven't finished it yet…don't know why..I like him though.

I know. That is what got me in the mood to read more of him. Although it seems I have neglected Generation X in favor of the other book, Swish. Been reading it since I got home.

I love Coupland. I've been wanting to read Generation X for awhile so I can't wait to read what you have to say about it.
