The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland

This was another book I borrowed from one of my managers because she thought I would like it. It's only the second book I've read by Coupland, but I'm starting to like his style. The Gum Thief is a series of notes written by two people (with occasional other perspectives thrown in) written in a notebook left on the breakroom table of a Staples.

It's an interesting story of two very different people, who under normal circumstances would never have become friends, based on difference in age and two very different lives. But their writings draw them together and intertwine their lives in an interesting way.

This book isn't really fast-paced or action packed, but it was a really interesting read.
