the worst book i ever tried reading (up to 4 attempts now) is Generation X by Douglas Copeland.

i've never been able to read it for more than about 2-3 chapters. for something that was supposed to represent the generation coming of age in the 90s i think it failed horribly, i didn't relate to any of the characters. if anything i wanted to stab them in their entitled idealistic faces by the end of the first chapter.

maybe it picks up, maybe it twists around, my roommate tells me it doesn't, it's just the story of those d-bags and their (oh so below them) mcjobs. hell these characters reek of the same type of people that lived beyond their means until not too long ago and helped the economy crap all over itself.

generation defining my a$$.
