Chuck P is one of my favorite writers. I'm planning on revisiting Rant when I'm finished with Hard Boiled Wonderland and all of its crazy split cognitive system theories.

Really surprised it took me this long to get around to it. Lately I just haven't been able to put down those Where's Waldo books... I liked 'Choke', should be blown away by 'Fight Club'.

What is it with hipsters and Chuck Palahniuk?

Quiet you >.>

I'm sure it has something to do with the Fight Club phenom.. hipsters read the book so they have that extra edge on everyone who has only seen the movie.. or maybe it's because he's just a really good writer.

The more people mention him, the less I'm inclined to check him out......plus, I didn't really like Fight club...*shock*

Even with a shirtless Brad Pitt included?

Choke is probably the best novel he's written, the plot isn't all over the place like in Fight Club, and the characters are better developed and easier to sympathize with... and if you want a preview the movie is hilarious.

People pointing out hipster people doing something that they think only hipsters do, is just as bad as the hipsters doing those things to be hipster.
