Anyone gonna get his new book that comes out this month? its called Lullaby. Im gonna wait till paperback, I only have Invisible monsters so far. I wanna get the others too. what do you guys think of him? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO SHIT!?!?!? I'M AT BORDERS ASAP- I LUV CHUCK p.s. i wanna have like a million of his babies |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw- i think invisible monsters is by far his worst novel, pick up choke or fight club for starters, and then move on to survivor- but i couldn't take invisible monsters... too much information about sex change surgery, that i really wish i hadn't read. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
fuck yea nigga i'm all over that biznatch. my favorite is survivor of the ones i've read... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the story sounds lame to me though, but im sure itll be excellent nonetheless. on amazon it says its about some thing to do with someone saying a lullaby before people go to sleep and people die from it or something of that nature. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sure it's better than that- they also said that choke was about a medical student trying to pay his bills by pretending to choke at various restaurants. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true, true. im still getting it but amazon made it sound bad by the storyline. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe i'll buy it at the store some time next week- good thing too, i was gettin' sick and tired of reading the same hp lovecraft and kvj over and over again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked fight club but his other stories seem to similiar. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really like palahniuk's work. survivor is his best imo. but im not sure if i'll buy lullaby right away or wait until the paperback comes out, as i was a little disappointed by 'choke'. it was good, but after fight club and survivor, choke seemed a little redundant to me (havent read invisible monsters). oh, and could someone please recommend an another author similar to palahniuk? ive hear of that ballard guy. how is he? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never read anything by him, maybe ill check some out after I read all of Palahniuks stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Survivor is my favorite.. Whoever said that his style in all the novels is similar, I definitely agree but I still like them all (I am not done with Invisible Monsters yet) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aaaw, no suggestions for me? :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just finished reading fight club and was blown away by it even though i had seen the most excellent movie twice before.. If his other books are as good i will definetely look for them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
invisible monsters is my first palahniuk and its confusing but im still reading. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
books are way too damn expensive. $13-15 for a paperback book???? im getting all his others used except lullaby when it comes out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i ordered survivor on bn.com for $8 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I'll be getting this new one in hardback no doubt....I've read all the rest of his books & just love his style... There's nothing quite like the pleasure of reading something in HB...bit more costly, but not hugely so...and you get to read it 3-6months early... (hehe...you seriously wouldn't believe how many books we've got in this house...like a mini library :).. Chuck Ps in the UK this weekm I believe...was supposed to go to a reading/signing but too busy at work....:(... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oops i meant to say 'choke' not 'survivor'... my bad. looking forward to 'lullaby' but not enough to pay for it as a hardcover. not only am i too cheap to pay $10 extra to get to read it 3-12 months early, i just lack the space for a big hardback book cos i'm supposedly moving to a new house sometime in the next few months. |
||||||||

FC rules but this new book isn't meant to be that good... but i am still going to read it ... on the topic of books (had to dig deep to try to relate this question to topic).... has anyone read "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski cause my my friend said it mind fucked him but it costs a lot over here even in paperback... would anyone recomend it ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm just addicted to em... I'll be off to Waterstones to pick up Lullaby & Martin Amis new book about Stalin as soon as I get paid.... bue yeah, size is a problem...I read a lot on the journey to work & I've been it the situation recently where all the books I was reading were too big to comfortably carry around.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
survivor was a great read after fightclub, so I'll be damm sure to chase up "lullaby" , I've heard something about survivor being made into a film? has anyone else heard anything about it? who do you think would make a good actor for Tender Branson the lead role? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea. supposedly it's going to be jerry bruckheimer's directorial debut. chuck really wants trent reznor to score it but the rumor is bruckheimer doesn't like that idea. manson also wants to score it but i think chuck would much prefer trent since nin music inspires almost all of chuck's books ("hurt" : fight club; fixed : survivor -- and this is according to chuck himself, folks). also, both madonna and nicole kidman are competing for the role of fertility but madonna's way too old IMO. |

I found out today that Lullaby is coming straight out on Paperback (think it's like 8 quid..)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like his weird and twisted style, which is probably somewhat geneticly derived I'de think from his crazy family: his grandfather killed his grandmother the then himself while is father hid under the bed, then his father and a women he was seeing were both murdered in 1999. Anyways, I like how unprodictable his novels are, fight club was great, and I can't wait to read lullaby. |

i'm gonna read Choke.....in tandem with my BF.....so we can discuss it amoungst ourselves! =0) |

Invisible Monsters - 5/10 Fight Club - 9/10 Survivor - 9/10 Choke - 8.5/10 You like these books, read 'Glamorama' by Bret Easton Ellis. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just finished 'Lullaby'... fucking wicked. 9/10! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lullaby is awesome, good read. I just finished Survior while on vacation, it was weird reading the ending 20 minutes before my plane landed - creepy - I've read them all and I'd say Survivor is my favorite, but I want to read Lullaby again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've only read choke, that was cool yet bizarre I realy want to read lullaby. I read the blurb at the back and it sounds cool. JAR !!! WHAT'S MY PARCEL GOD DAMNIT !! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've had lullaby for MONTHS now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i've read survivor, choke, and fight club..i'm yet to read invisible monsters. so they're making a movie about invisible monsters and chuck wants madonna to play lead role. chuck's coming to edinboro university in april and we're gonna meet him personally (hook up) and have dinner with him. so my brohter and i had this brilliant idea to make an essay or a play in dedication to chuck and present it to him. ..never went anywhere =\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What, do you want a fucking medal cause you live in the US and get things sooner? I hope they do make a film of that book and Madonna does some method acting and gets her jaw blown off for real |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahahaha yeah a medal would be nice for once. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Chuck doesn't want Madonna as the lead, she wants it, he doesn't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do you get to meet chuck? you're lucky, he's a great author. you deserve it tho since you've read a lot of his books. i've only read survivor so far (loved it) but i've had choke waiting for me to read over christmas break (if i finish it fast i'll move on to lullaby)... seen fight club the movie of course chuck hates madonna i'm sure; i thought she was supposed to be involved in the movie for survivor though, or was that just nicole kidman? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? i heard otherwise.. well then that's better =] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my english teacher is friends with the woman who runs the confrence...and we're going with him., they all ready said we could meet him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you excited about the prospect of trent scoring the movie survivor? also, how'd your tappy tibbons presentation go? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't want to interrupt here... but I think that Lullaby would definitely work best as a film out of all his other books. Survivor would be good but it's low key, it wouldn't be suited to Fight Club style direction... Lullaby I think would work well with Fincher at the helm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whoa..i heard nothing of this! is trent scoring the movie? where'd you hear that? i haven't been paying attention to my nin news lately..seems nothing new ever happens. that roxorz! i never did it, and the pictures didn't work =\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the idea of trent scoring the movie has been kicking around since 2000. scroll down to nine inch nails in 2003 on for info. what do you mean the pictures didn't work...? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
choke would have to be edited so much to make a film lullaby..definately! the whole time while reading it, i just wanted to picture it on a big screen. the thought makes me go a big grinny one =D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i'll go straight to that! i can't believe i didn't know oh well..things slip by none of the pictures worked they all came out as blank..on all the computers i tried |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
strange.. they worked fine for me; i'd resend them but i deleted them after sending them to you. shoudla told me earlier! i could've easily put them on a webpage for you. though i guess i'm glad you didn't have to do the presentation since you didn't get the pics to work... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it wasn't a presentation- but a label for a juice..juice by tappy it's okay i settled with juice for joos so it's so...wow righteous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joos?! hehe |
