All Families Are Psychotic - Douglas Coupland: I guess it can only be a good sign if you shout out 'Oh Fuck' while you are reading a book right? It was totally fascinating in that as I read it, I couldn't believe how messed up this family was and how much I had been sucked into the shenanigans. How can you stop reading after Ted just shot his son, and the bullet went right through him and into the gut of his ex-wife Janet?



Coupland's narratives constantly weave around making for a complete story that in the end may came to an unrealistic end, but at least it's a happy one. I once read that all his characters are too similar, sort of how everyone on the Gilmore Girls does that whitty banter thing, but I didn't notice that or at least allowed it since they are family. Definitely a nice way to spend a day reading.
