Generation X - Douglas Coupland

I've read a few books recently and I'm getting behind on commenting on them, don't know what to say ... Quite liked this, it's not a story per se but it was quite perceptive in its day about young people of the time (my time!) The comment about the end of history is somewhat undermined by the fact that the Berlin Wall came down between the book being written or at least set, and being published. But the stuff about being the generation after the last generation to be able to buy a house (much less retire with a decent pension) is still pretty perceptive.
