I would really like to recommend Then We Came to the End....
by Joshua Ferris.

A first time author who made the New York Times notable books for 2007, this book will resonate well with anyone who has worked in a large office setting.

Told from a collective first person, I know it sounds crazy but it works, the book goes inside a large Chicago Advertising Firm that is hitting hard times.

A very smart read that, I warn you, kind of peters out at the end. But it's the getting there that makes this book well worth reading.

1. Is it funny?
I like office satire. If it's too real then I don't want to read it. I live real office life every day.

2. It's funny and real...
The way he chose to writeabout an office environment is worth the price.
