I really dig Christopher Buckley's fiction, in spite of my disagreement with him on most things political.  Boomsday is not an exception.

The premise is the clash between Boomers and their kids, and I can relate.  While I am the progeny of the WWII generation, I came late, and have long resented the fact that I will hear Donovan on the radio until the day I die, while the Clash will never get their due. 

The book pits the under-30s against the greediest generation as the latter sucks up the federal budget through social security and the former must be lulled from saying "whatever" to voting for someone who will support a solution - one that involves state-subsidized suicide.

Very funny, sort of uneven.  I recommend it as a summer read.  But it's clear that this book was written by a boomer.  I look forward to new related material written by actual generation X-ers.
