Douglas "Bartlett's" Coupland

Now reading The Gum Thief and it's hooked me good, so far. Details to come when I'm finished but I don't know where I'll start, since Douglas Coupland is so quotable. Practically every page contains an observation worth repeating.

In the meantime, try Coupland on love in The Walrus. DC: "I felt the way I feel after I’m halfway through my third drink, which is the way I wish all moments in life felt: heightened with the sense that anything could happen at any moment—that the reason being alive is so important is that just when you least expect it, you might receive just what you least expect. "
