A review by saidtheraina
The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland
3.0
I feel like there should be a fanfare as I finish this book after almost two years of reading it. [a:Coupland|1886|Douglas Coupland|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1264509011p2/1886.jpg] is one of my favorite authors and has been ever since I was assigned to read him at the Oregon Extension my junior year of college. And I did keep reading this in between all my library books.
This is a quiet story. The story of a couple of employees at a Staples. One of them is writing a book about some college professors. It's all kinds of depressing, but at the same time, it's soothing in its suburban angst. It's nice for me to know that there are people out there with this perspective who still like to write about it. Not sure if that makes any sense. But yes. Good book. Even better author.
