Then We Came to the End: a Novel

They spend their days - and too many of their nights - at work. Away from friends and family, they share a stretch of stained carpet with a group of strangers they call colleagues. There's Chris Yop, clinging to his ergonomic chair; Lynn Mason, the boss, whose breast cancer everyone pretends not to talk about; Carl Garbedian, secretly taking someone else's medication; Marcia Dwyer, whose hair is stuck in the eighties; and Benny, who's just - well, just Benny. Amidst the boredom, redundancies, water cooler moments, meetings, flirtations and pure rage, life is happening, to their great surprise, all around them. Then We Came to the End is about sitting all morning next to someone you cross the road to avoid at lunch. It's the story of your life and mine.

    Then We Came to the End: a Novel by Joshua Ferris

    This books contains traces of Office Space and Fight Club but is more touching and less nihilist respectively. Work becomes the center of the characters' narratives instead of a short background, which is what it is in most of our lives. You will laugh out loud while reading; however, the story is especially relevant (and sadder) with the current economic downturn.
