Last night I finished Girlfriend in a Coma, by Douglas Coupland. The only other thing I've read by Coupland was Generation X, which, being his first novel and all, was rather subdued in comparison. Girlfriend was much more out there. I liked it, and I liked the book's message, about how we're too obsessed with time and work and efficiency and how we're all the less healthier for it, though I thought it a little heavy-handed. If you're an X-Phile, he makes several X-Files references that you may appreciate.

That's probably it for my book reading for a while. I have things to write that won't leave me with much time for idle reading. I have plenty of books on my shelf at home that I've never gotten around to reading, but I think I'll just save myself for Neil Gaiman's next novel.
