I personally love them, but they intentionally put you outside of your comfort zone. You'll either really enjoy them or wish you'd never picked them up. I read Choke and then read every other book he had written (at that time, 2004) within the next month. I couldn't put him down. But they are definitely not for everyone.SS4BChttp://www.smallstepsforbigchange.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-57414373670713930492010-12-05T01:19:07.796-05:002010-12-05T01:19:07.796-05:00I've read Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club but...I've read Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club but only because I love the movie. I must admit though... I couldn't get into the book as much as the movie. The book was just so... incoherent. I realize it's to reflect the mind of the character. But still... it was very confusing.<br /><br />I hear Choke the book is better (but the movie wasn't great)The Asian Pearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835341186818387085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-38723344801401138462010-12-03T00:00:23.250-05:002010-12-03T00:00:23.250-05:00I have Survivor on my bookshelf but haven't go...I have Survivor on my bookshelf but haven't gotten around to it yet... you'll have to let me know how it is!ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150815858732355900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-44687464700189406622010-12-02T18:45:23.779-05:002010-12-02T18:45:23.779-05:00I really like Chuck Palahniuk, but he definitely a...I really like Chuck Palahniuk, but he definitely a certain type of taste. If you like a great allegory than he's your man. Kurt Vonnegut is great too. Some things of Palahniuk's are a bit hard to read though, like Haunted, quite disturbing. <br /><br />Just found your blog, I am enjoying it.Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331985160772173912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-60988435003343595872010-12-02T17:02:43.102-05:002010-12-02T17:02:43.102-05:00hk, I have a Toyota too.

I like small ones that are good on gas.<br /><br />FB I think I will read the next two in the trilogy. I even read online that he could have written a total of 5 in the series (some not complete), but his family and partner have the transcripts. Maybe they will eventually be published too.<br /><br />erika, I do not have dental insurance. Blahh, I think I'm going to postpone my next appointment to at least 9 months instead of the recommended 6. Going twice a year every year is just too expensive without benefits!!<br /><br />Maureen and Saving4Later you should try skating again! It was a lot of fun even though I was by far the worst on the ice (and close to one of the oldest).Girl Makes Centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178475518084685735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-12095772336577301042010-12-01T23:03:54.286-05:002010-12-01T23:03:54.286-05:00That dinner sounds delicious!

Almost no one in my area does anymore :-(<br /><br />I have seen The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and really enjoyed it :-) I might get the 2nd one this weekend, it's on PPV and I finished the book a couple weeks ago. I would recommend the movie for sure if you liked the book so much :-)Canadian Saverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335109256687297543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-91725300787040807172010-12-01T20:03:51.992-05:002010-12-01T20:03:51.992-05:00There are 2 more books in Larsson's trilogy th...There are 2 more books in Larsson's trilogy that you might like then<br /><br />I too am a Canadian who cannot skate.FB @ FabulouslyBroke.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12966672580040786485noreply@blogger.com
