Four peoples lives are set adrift in the wake of a high school shootingthree cant escape the loneliness that plagues them, while a fourth races for oblivion, wondering what happened to God. Bristling with Douglas Couplands hallmark humor and cultural acuity, Hey Nostradamus! achieves new heights of poignancy and literary accomplishment.

Book 1 of the #24in48readathon done. I read this years ago & had remembered little more than the fact that I loved it. Being a teacher, a school shooting seems at the same time to be both terrifying & unreal/far away. The layers in this are heartbreaking & yet beautiful to unpack. Coupland novels are either disturbingly hysterical or devastating - chalk this one up as devastating. Love it with all the broken pieces of my heart 💔 #24in48 @24in48

So this may be a weird choice to read in a hospital waiting room, but I was in a Coupland kind of mood 🤷
Hoping my husband's hand surgery doesn't take any longer than planned as I only brought one book with me #priorities #ipromiseimnotcoldandunloving 😅

I finally did it! This is the first book that I've finished in MONTHS. I don't even care that it was a reread. Douglas Coupland is a Canadian treasure and I'm thoroughly looking forward to expanding my collection of his work.

Feeling a little antsy today, so I've decided to sit down with some cold drinks and a book to binge read 💕😊📚🍹

Not sure how other people interpreted this prompt, but this is the only book I could think of with “Hey” in the title. This was a good book, but if you read it, be prepared for the complete hopelessness of it. The kid who‘s hurt the most (of those left alive) from the school shooting is the one blamed by many for the events, and his whole life is tainted by this tragedy from his senior year. It‘s very sad.
I‘ll try to catch up! #heyjude #heyjune

A moving audiobook that would make a terrible movie. Coupland doesn't write women particularly well, but the narrators sure sell it.

readinginthedark This book is so good but so sad! Have you read Eleanor Rigby? (edited) 8y
BookishTrish @readinginthedark I read it ages ago and can't remember much about it. I must've liked it because I gave it to my mother in law one Christmas. 8y
readinginthedark @BookishTrish Awesome; I really enjoyed that one. 8y
