| Microserfs is very much like jPod, yes, so move onto that. It also gives you an interesting (albeit dated) look into Microsoft, much like jPod is a look into EA (didja figure that out? lawl). My favourite book of his is Hey Nostradamus! but it's really heavy and depressing subject matter. I also really enjoyed Girlfriend in a Coma's weirdness, though.
If you enjoy his light and hip wit, then stick with Microserfs and Generation X, the latter will expose you to the emotional/philosophical side of his writings as well; if you enjoyed that, go to Girlfriend in a Coma and finally Hey Nostradamus! If you still want more, go with Life After God; it's a collection of shorts that's very good but again a bit of the god stuff obviously creeps in. (He's not officially religious, FYI.)
Leave Eleanor Rigby, Miss Wyoming, and All Families are Psychotic for last or never (in that order), they're all more "mainstream" novels which left me with the feeling they were written for the paycheck. |
