I just finished Haunted a couple weeks ago, and i'm starting lullaby.
wondering if anyone has read any of his work and are willing to discuss? |

| | | i've read all of his books
Invisible Monsters is by FAR the best, and it was the first book he wrote
i was mad becuase it was the first book of his i read so it kind of ruined the rest for me
i like the other books...but IM was just so good

| | | i haven't read it yet!
my friend is supposed to be lending it to me, and i was at the bookstore tonight contemplating purchasing it.
so the premise is basically a beauty queen who was in a tragic accident, and thrown into an 'ugly' new world?
i really can't wait to read how palahniuk decides to describe all of it.

| | | The end of Lullaby creeped me out; I almost vomitted.
I've read that, Fight Club, Diary, and Choke.
No complaints about any of them. But Diary is the one I recommend the most. |

| | | haunted is compromised of i think 16 short stories, and one of them, entitled guts, apparently was stricking enough to make people faint in public readings.
i even was queasy at the end of it, google Guts by palahniuk, if you haven't read it.
i'm curious to see how shocking it is in comparison to lullaby. |

i always said Diary was kind of my least favorite
i like it, don't get me wrong, but there is something about it i just can't get into it liek i can the others
i've read it over and over and i can't find what makes me feel that way about it
ill give it another try and see what happens becuae you are the third person to say it was one of his best
i if i were you i would just buy it, i've read it 13 times and havn't gotten sick of it yet
whenever i see it i just want to pick it up and read it again, its so amazing

Oooo Guts is fun.
I couldn't sit down after that. I had to keep moving or I'd rip my skin off. |

Haha I'm not scared of swimming pools.
Even if I was a guy, I don't think it would ever occur to me to jack off in one.

| | | I was really into him last year, I read all his books. But I got bored of them quickly, his writing style is too similar in each book. It's like reading about the same character with a few minor differences.
My favourites of his were Fight Club, Haunted, and Diary. |

| | | i've been itching to read more palahniuk for a while now and hopefully i'll get around to it soon.
i read fight club quite some time ago now and it fuckin blew my mind.

| | | i read survivor, thought it was quite good. Then read lullaby and it was exactly the same type of novel, same characters etc.
Not the best author around but not the worst. |

| | | lullaby is my favorite, with choke being a close second.
fight club was the first i owned, i bought it on a bookshopping spree when i got a bunch of other random things.
and diary is my least favorite. i couldnt even finish it. i might one day. |

| | | i've read fight club, diary, invisible monsters, choke and i've just started haunted. i actually think fight club is my least favorite, but i still like it a lot. invisible monsters is probably my favorite (i really liked diary a lot too though), there's a scene that takes place on the space needle that's probably one of my favorite scenes ever in any book i've read. chuck does write really similarily from novel to novel though. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
