Chuck Palahniuk

Just wondering if anybody else happens to be a fan of his novels. I'm sure a lot of you have read Fight Club. So far I've read Fight Club, Survivor, Choke, Invisible Monsters and I'm currently in the process of finishing Lullaby. He's an amazing author and I just thought that his writing style would appeal to sherdoggers.

What is your favourite book?

I read Fight Club but didn't really like the style. That being said I loved the story he wrote about some kid getting his sister pregnant from jerking off in his pool and not "pearl diving" afterward.

Yeah, that pearl diving one was from a short story called 'Guts' inside the book Haunted.

Fight Club was probably my favorite but Choke and Survivor are both really close seconds. Chokes been made into a movie but it's not out yet. I think both Survivor and Invisible Monsters are also gonna be made into movies too.

I'm planning to read Rant as soon as I finish Lullaby.

He's got some other book coming out sometime in 2009 called Pygmy that sounds like it should be good too. It's about some 13 year old foreign exchange student terrorist sent to America to live with some white, Christian family. He's suppose to win some national science fair so that he can go to the finals in Washington and blow it up during the final competition, killing millions.

if i'm not mistaken, thats 3/3 in the series i spoke of.......i'm not sure if they're supposed to be 'sequels' or something because none seem related in any way...maybe he just had 3 books in the work and someone got the idea they were supposed to be a series...

but who knows, that is the genius that is palahniuk
