Generation X - Douglas Coupland

Rolling along on my Coupland fixation, I picked up Generation X. I had left my book lying on the dining room table and Paul commented sarcastically on the 'original title'. That kind of cracked me up since Coupland was the one to coin the term (Had I not known that, I would have had the same reaction as Paul did).

The book is written a bit textbook style, with definitions in the margins. Those definitions, for me, were the most entertaining part of the book. I enjoyed the story and the characters, without either of them leaving a lasting impression on me, barring one moment (the "I've always wanted to do that" kiss, which was delightful).
