I read
Fight Club,
Survivor and
Snuff. Personally
Fight Club is by far my favorite. He sure has very repetitive style that he kind of respect in all his books (well the ones I already read, but it seems like he's doing the same kind of thing in all his novels). I have to say tho, that this writing style perfectly works in FC.
I think I'll only read the other books I own by him, but I don't think I'll purchase any others. As for his style, in few words: The same reply recurs slightly changed every 3 pages. The narrator is the lead character talking in the first person. The character usually knows a lot of cool stuff that he keeps noting, like some kind of life trivias, but each book its subject.
Fight Club was great for this, these kind of replies added tension to the book. In the others i just liked the cool info I'm reading, nothing else, nothing adding to the story.
Snuff on the other hand, didn't have the main character as narrator, he followed a very different approach in that one. However, it has got the weakest story.
