| 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? __________________ Sheldon: I've spent the past three-and-a-half years staring at greaseboards full of equations; before that, I spent four years working on my thesis; before that, I was in college; and before that, I was in the fifth grade.

| 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? ![]() __________________ "Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV.” — Jacob Black “I can’t imagine how awful that must feel. Being normal?

| 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. __________________ Sheldon: I've spent the past three-and-a-half years staring at greaseboards full of equations; before that, I spent four years working on my thesis; before that, I was in college; and before that, I was in the fifth grade.

| 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. __________________ |Megan♫| ♥ // I am looking for an inspirationAnd I think I found it in your heart It's the kind of thing you get when you're not looking It's the kind of thing you had from the start... | |||

| Passionate Fan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | 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. __________________ Come stop by the Books Board for a visit. 148.94 million square kilometers on the face of the Earth, and I plan on walking every single one of them!

| 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 ![]() __________________ |Megan♫| ♥ // I am looking for an inspirationAnd I think I found it in your heart It's the kind of thing you get when you're not looking It's the kind of thing you had from the start... | |||

| 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. __________________ + Eda + | |||
