So I just finished Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (pronounced Paula-Nick) and wow, it was amazing, it took me 3 days to get through the whole thing, and, well, wow. I also just read Fight Club by Chuck and was amazed by it as well. I figure for the next book I read, I'll do 'Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey'.
So does/has anyone else read any stuff by him? If so what do you think? If not, read something by him.
Oh, one more thing, his books are very geared towards men, and somewhat adult (Choke and Snuff especially) but they're all great, nonetheless.
 
I'm going to start reading it right now, just for the hell of it. I was always interested in Fight Club, but never watched the movie/heard of the book.

What's that other book that I need to read... Les Miserables? I'll do that too.

Good. It's probably my favourite book ever.

Has she seen American History X? It stars him and its sweet.
I remember that movie faintly. Isn't the main guy a neonazi? He gets like thrown in jail and gets.... ya know.
Yeah, well...Ex-Neo Nazi. It really is a powerful movie.
That was a really good movie. One of my teachers wanted to let us watch it in class while we were covering the Holocaust, but the school wouldn't let her. So I went home and got my dad to rent it.
Well, I mean, there IS a curb stomping scene.
 
Knock, knock. I started Fight Club two evenings ago, and finished it that night around midnight. Excellent read.

<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;"> What did you think of the whole Tyler Durden twist?</div>[/quote]I'd say. The book is kind of written in sentence fragments, so it was a bit hard to get at first. I don't want to spoil anything, but I just remembered spoiler tags!

<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">It was the craziest plot twist ever when the protagonist turns out to be Tyler. It was weird how the book ended though, I mean I wasn't expecting a happy ending, but still. Insane stuff. Next is to watch the movie</div>
