Microserfs post-game
A couple quotes I want to keep track of from Douglas Coupland's Microserfs, which I just finished:
"I got to feeling meditative. I felt as though my inner self was much closer to the surface than it usually gets. It's a nice feeling. It takes quiet to get there." (p. 137)
"We then got into a discussion of Nerd Schools... -- and of course this led to a listing of schools that had the best nerd reputations.
[...]
-Brown -- 'Hipster nerd school with a good undergrad comp-sci program.'" (p. 326-7)
And now onto Breakfast of Champions, of which I am now the proud owner of my very own copy thanks to the mangling of checked-baggage handling (it was a pristine-condition borrowed copy...).
