Finished Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris. Outstanding book. It's one of the rare books that is so true I recommend it to anyone who wants to get a feel for day to day office politics. In that regard it's a little like the tv show The Office, but more real. Also recommended to anyone that wants an enjoyable, engaging read. You can file it next to High Fidelity in the art-imitates-life section of your library.
It's possible that the book won't engage you at all. Some people don't have the patience for it. I didn't have the patience for Into the Wild because the main character was an aimless clown that didn't care enough to look after himself, so why should I bother to care about him?
I bought a used copy of TWCttE ($3! only) but I'll probably buy the book new to give as a gift, support the cause, encourage the author. Because widespread critical acclaim isn't enough.
