Craig is armed with a college degree that has so far brought him nothing, certain that something better is just around the corner but unable to encounter it. He's been cohabiting with Ashley since college, and is caught in the dilemma of whether to break up with her or give in to marriage. Meanwhile, Ashley's efforts to earn a graduate degree seem futile considering that her diploma has taken up residence under the sofa cushions. Stuck in dead-end jobs; weary of commercial, corporate, and parental influences; searching for their own identities; Ashley, Craig, and the other characters of Our Noise find refuge in the brash world of indie rock, thrift stores, coffee houses, zines, and cheap beers. There are Eileen, who ends up in Kitty, Virginia, by accident and forgets to leave, and the members of Bottlecap, Kitty's hometown band, trying to decide whether to sell out and go to the West Coast or continue in the life of a small band. Chipp and Randy start a zine as a way to get their blood flowing for the first time even as Dave, the struggling founder of Violent Revolution Records, works as a waiter to fund his record label.



The Cow Jumped Over the Moon: The Strange and Extraordinary Tale of a Nervous Breakdown

Life for journalist Rachael as she knew it was over. From panic attacks to weight gain, alienation and fear made her a mere shadow of her former self (although she looked more like a sofa than a shadow). Saggy, baggy, depressed, and rushing to hospital every five minutes with suspected heart attacks - it doesn't sound like a recipe for hilarity. But her personality shines through as she learns to laugh at herself and slowly fight her way back to a healthy - and happy - new life.

The Marx Family Saga by Juan Goytisolo, ISBN 0872863492

In Juan Goytisolo's latest surreal fiction Karl and Jenny Marx sit on their sofa in Hampstead and watch a television documentary. Albanian refugees land on a private Italian beach flourishing photocopies of dollar bills, in search of paradise Dallas. A resurrected Marx visits scenes of former triumphs in Moscow, where MacLenin T-shirts and harmburger freedom are all the rage, and returns to a Hampstead housewarming reception and ball filmed by the cameras for a Merchant-Ivoryish Red Baroness -- which subsequently becomes the subject of a Saturday-night talk show featuring a feminist sexologist from UCLA, an anarchist from the Spanish Civil Bar, Bakunin ... The Marx Family Saga, Goytisolo's most mordant satire yet, is a roller-coaster of bitter invective and witty paradox, a verbal whip-lashing for the cheerleaders of the new world order.

Sunshine on Putty: The Golden Age of British Comedy, from Vic Reeves to the Office

In the 1990s, comedians seemed to dominate every sphere of Britain's cultural life. So perhaps it was fitting that in a decade when politics, sports, art, literature, and even religion threatened to become branches of light entertainment, the best British comedies--"The Office, The Day Today, The Fast Show, Shooting Stars, Father Ted, I'm Alan Partridge, The League of Gentlemen, The Royle Family--offered the clearest picture of what was happening to the country. This provocative, very funny book unearths the true twisted beauty of British comedy's psychic root system: from the stains on Caroline Aherne's sofa to Ricky Gervais' self-destructive love affair with dairy products. Ben Thompson writes for "THE INDEPENDENT, THE FACE, and "GQ. Sunshine on Putty: The Golden Age of British Comedy, from Vic Reeves to the Office
