JPod

“On the way home yesterday I stopped by Ricky’s Pancake Hut for a cheeseburger, fries and Coke. It’s not what I usually order, but for a short while I wanted to pretend I was living inside an Archie comic – don’t we all feel like that at some time or other?”

Now, this quote really doesn’t say anything about the story, themes, or plots… But it might be one of the passages I loved most in JPod, the latest book by Douglas Coupland. Then again, food, and pretending I’m in a movie while eating food, are two of my favourite things.

On the menu: wacky co-workers, a dull work environment made enjoyable with the help of Google-based games and office hijinks , murder and drugs. A perfect book for when you’ve hit a “I’d rather be doing anything than working” slump.
