I loved Hey Nostradamus!; I had read a couple of other books about school shootings and was eager to complete what a friend called "the school-shooting trilogy" [We Need to talk about Kevin and Nineteen Minutes being the others]. Augusten Burroughs I found horribly off-putting; I was appalled by it and I'm not at all the prudish sort. Seems that I can be shocked: who knew?!

How was the other Coupland book you read? I'm trying to decide what work of his to read next.
