Chuck Palahniuk [Fight Club, Choke, etc]

He wrote Fight Club, Survivor, Choke, Snuff, Stranger Than Fiction, Invisable Monsters and more...

I really like his books. Anyone else?

Oh yeah I read Survivor a year ago. I enjoyed reading it.
It's an interesting satire on the media and popular culture. Odd and yet believable considering how much importance society places on celebrities and their lives.

I want to read Snuff? Have you read it yet?

I read snuff recently, I really liked it. It had interesting commentary about the porn industry, feminism, and beauty. and what we do to achieve it. I like how his books have a sort of hidden social or political commentary in them all.

I just finished Choke, can't wait to see the movie when it comes out.

I love his books!

I just finished reading "Choke" and I loved it, so i'm very excited to see how the movie is! my all time favourites though would be Fight Club and Invisible Monsters
He's a interesting author for sure.

I've never really been able to get into Palahniuk. I just don't like his writing style. I liked the Fight Club movie though. I haven't decided if I'm going to go see Choke or not.

At first it was hard for me to actually get into the books; but once i read them more and read the others i liked his writing. Choke should be good; movie wise I mean. It's a good story

I have to pick up Snuff and add it to my pile of "Must Reads". It sounds interesting.

It is, in my opinion. The person who lent it to me said he couldn't finish it because it was too disturbing, but personally I thought Rant was much more disturbing. Snuff has to be one of my favorites along with Invisible Monsters. And I'd like to read Haunted next.

I have yet to read anything by him, but have been planning to get on that. I'll probably read one of his books (most likely Choke, since my boyfriend has it) before the end of the year. I just hope that all the hype doesn't ruin his book(s) for me.

There's a lot of hype, but I think his books are interesting. I've often been dissapointed by his ending, though

Has anyone seen Choke yet?
