"Then We Came to the End" by Joshua Ferris

This clever, funny novel about one dot-com company's smash-up is a delight to read. The New York Times listed it as one of the top five fiction books of the year, and it was nominated for a National Book Award, so this title has chops, but what is most pleasurable about the read is the inventive narration and the scaffold of seriousness that supports all the hijinks and wit these characters have.
