1982, by Jian Ghomeshi

Reading this book was like flashing back to the 1980s. It was so much fun to be able to connect to all the pop culture references (e.g. Culture Club) and get transported in time.  The writing was simple, light hearted reminiscing and thoroughly enjoyable.  It was also thoroughly forgettable.  I "experienced" the 1980s a few times through Ghomeshi's remembrances, but did not feel compelled to finish it.  I like this CBC personality, but I'm so interested as to read all these small nuances of his adolescent year.
