One of my top 5 authors, which strangely enough would get me scoffed by "SERIOUS READERS," which is stupid because this guy makes books violent.

Please, somebody say they've read a book or six, so we can talk about him. Some label him as a shock writer but.. Marilyn Manson shocked people and look at the impact he made. People need to be shocked to wake up. Chuck has serious points in his novels but does it in an overly offensive/gross way.

YAY, i have read haunted!

Haunted wasn't that great, in fact, I'd say it's his weakest. Try out any of his others!
But Haunted has Guts which apparently made people pass out. Violent books.

haunted is some gross parts...

It is pretty disgusting. But Chuck wrote a trilogy of horror novels and Haunted was his last one. He's good at grossing people out, it's what he does best.

thats the only one i have read

Oh sweet, another thing to add to my buy-these-books list.

You should know a couple things about him before you do buy something:
Fight Club is his classic.
He writes like you're talking to him and uses "choruses", which is just a repetition of certain phrases.

Ah, when i went to the book store a while ago, i (amazingly) didn't find fight club. I didn't look hard enough. What i did see though, was Choke. If you've read it, is it any good?

Yeah I liked Choke. I've liked all his books even though he uses the same "voice" in all of them. I might have mentioned that before, and I've probably mentioned this before too... it's a ****ing good voice though so it's not boring.
The beginning of the novel is really nice, like, the first page or two. I don't remember much from it though because it was the first one I read, as well.

His style is never boring. I can't stress that enough.


Oh and I've since read his new novel, Rant. It was pretty cool too. Apparently I missed out on how deep it is because I've read discussions and I didn't even think of some of the stuff mentioned in them. Oh well. It's written in the form of an oral biography and you never actually "meet" Rant, who the book is based on. It's interesting. He changes up his typical voice somewhat, at times but it's still Palahniuk. But it's part 1 of a trilogy and that doesn't excite me.
