His pieces are ok for entertainment, but I don’t think there is anything any deeper than that, sheer entertainment value. He isn’t the next Faulkner or Vonnegut, that’s for sure.

chucks books are interesting to me in part because alot of the story he writes with his own perception of life (morbid) and then gives you either a) info dumps full of little known facts or b) stories he actually got from fans / people he met.
in 'choke' he actually went to a sex addiction group to research what goes on in there and got alot of material which is why he talks about that in fight club and choke and so on..
