Chuck Palahniuk
 

It is probably apparent that I am completely on Chuck P's nuts and have enjoyed pretty much everything he has ever written, so I'm surprised I couldn't find a thread on him. ):
Quite an amazing "Shock" writer.

Anyway, my favorite novel has to be Choke. It's more linear than most of his work, which, for me at least, makes it alot less confusing.

Snuff comes out this May, cant wait.

I've read Choke, Fight Club and Survivor... I liked them all, he's a pretty good writer.

Choke movie comes out this August.. should be interesting.

I enjoy him, sometimes I find he gets too repetitive like in Diary for instance, but overall he's good. Choke is probably my favorite book of his.

A good writer but I much prefer Bret Easton Ellis and Irvine Welsh to tap into modern society.

My 2 favorite writers

i can't wait for snuff. i love the whole culture of porn, and reading cp's take on it is going to be awesome.

i've read fight club, survivor, lullaby, diary, choke, and half of haunted. the first three being the only one's i liked. well, choke was alright too, but it was mostly dull up until the ending. haven't read any of his others.

^

haha he's so freaking graphic. Snuff will no exception I'm sure. I have a feeling I'm gonna be reading alot that I don't want to picture in my head but will anyways.

At first I thought that Fight Club and Survivor were my two favorites, but then I read RANT. Brilliant, it takes the "Documentary" feel of World War Z but applies it to CP's unique way of creating a world and character.

Rant is great .. but Choke still takes the cake for me. Cannot wait for Snuff .. the man is brilliant.

My favorite by Palahniuk is Haunted, with Choke coming in quite close to that. I love his writing. He's insane. It's fantastic.

I wish that someone had told me that the cover of haunted is glow in the dark. I remember reading it before bed and after turning out the light to go to sleep, seeing that face on the cover staring at me in the dark just about gave me a heart attack and an episode of bowel loosening.

HAHA I FOUND OUT ONE NIGHT WONDERING WHAT THE CRAP WAS GLOWING ON MY FLOOR! That's hilarious. Haha. No one told me either. It scared the hellout of me.

my copy of haunted scared the effing ish out of my friend one night. awesome.

lmfao.

I had no idea it glowed in the dark!
I now have to thank you all for the warning, I'm a very jumpy person and that would about put me over the edge.

Okay, I read the synopsis for "Guts", and thats just really f*cked up sh1t right there.

I heart Palahniuk and his sick brain. <3<3<3

Cause, really, where would we be without it?

Me Too.
Choke is amazing

Alright if this guy is as amazing as you guys say he is I need a book, question is which one?

You really can't go wrong.

Choke, Lullaby, or Haunted would be your best bets probably.

ok I guess i'll get Choke

Yeah Choke is your best bet to start, try Haunted afterwards - it's pretty disturbing. People fainted when he did his readings.

lol guts is my favorite story in haunted, followed closely by the nightmare box.

guts is awesome. I was like... omg... throughout the whole thing. BUT YOU CAN'T STOP READING.

Guts was the first thing I read by him, and its was pretty, um, disturbing, but thats what made me want to read more of his stuff

haha i know and it just gets worse and worse the more you read.
Like i said before, I am never going near a pool drain ever, ever again.

I read a summary of Guts and it was pretty funny but for all the wrong reasons.

Ahaha, I know, I've never eaten a carrot since

UGH POOL DRAINS

I've been terrified of them since I was a kid. So, that story ... makes me... more .. ascared.

Yeah that part creeped me out and the candle wax and the pool thing with his sister.

I have read Fight Club, Diary, and Invisible Monsters, and they have turned me into a CP fan. He has a very unique style about him that i really enjoy.

At the begining of either Diary or Invisible monsters, cp talks about when he was young he was in the pool and put his 'rectum' against one of the pool filters and he stayed there so long that he pulled out several feet of his small intestine, and had to go to the hospital and have it removed. Does anyone know if he is just BullSh*ting?

Naw man that was in 'Guts' it is true but it happened to someone else.

lol the new scene to read wow lame

....

1st rule, don't talk about fight club...you all forgot that.

Good thing they remember rule #2.

I say it was needed.

K all you Chuck P fans, Snuff is finally heree (I'm a little late but whatevas..)

I'm only a few chapters in but I can already tell this book doesn't hold up to his other stuff. In short, it's about a woman named Cassie Wright, who is attempting to break the world record for largest gang bang in history (which includes 600 participants.) The books tracks the lives of 3 guys who are planning to take part in the shenanigans. Interesting subject, but I'm still waiting for a twist..

Err that storyline made me cringe a little... lol Guess I'm just not "new-age" enough for Chuck P's stuff
