The reason I am posting all of my books, etc. on here is because I need to keep track for my 30 Bucket List [which I'm not doing so well on!] Bear with me! ...and Family? I will have our happenings up soon...I hope!
September 2009 has wrapped up and with it, another book club accomplishment. Our read was Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris. This novel takes place in an office environment filled with employees of various personalities. You have the crazy guy, the unstable girl, the bitch, the prankster, the serious guy, the gossip, the know-it-all, the misunderstood. Every character has his or her own story within a Marketing Company that is on a downhill slide, each patiently awaits 'walking Spanish down the hall' [getting fired]. Much of this book was laugh-out-loud funny and most of it I could relate to as an employee who does the weekday 8-5 grind. I found myself picturing numerous people at my firm in place of the quirky characters in the book. It was a fun, fast read and comes highly recommended by me! Woot!

Good to have you back my friendly. I am always checking my blog lists to see if you have posted. And here you are!
I haven't even heard of that book, but it sounds right up my street. I will definitely check it out.
If you fancy something similar, check out a book called E- A novel by Matt Beaumont. It is entirely made up of emails sent around an office and is the funniest book I have ever read.
Don't leave it so long next time.....
E sounds like a fabulous book! I love reading...love...and i have 20 more books that must be completed by June 2, 2010...so this one is going on the list...!
