With the new Harry Potter book out, it's time to clear up a few others that have been sitting partially read on the bedside table for a while. First up is Working Class Zero by Toronto author Rob Payne, which I picked up at Book City a few weeks ago. It's a light book about a guy stuck working in a dumb job at a mutual fund company in Toronto, who's having an early midlife crisis. Essentially, it's a CanLit version of a Nick Hornby book, but unfortunately not as funny. 2 1/2 out of 5.
