Oops didn't mean to reply so quickly.
Is this a book or something? I'd check it out if you reccommend it!

It IS pretty damn funny. A lot darker and more visceral than FIGHT CLUB in many ways, though not as tigthly plotted.
I recommend reading all of his books.

Aye, it is a book. The man that wrote fight club. It opens with the author telling you, that you probably shouldnt read this, because the lead carachter is such a fucking idiot... and from then on it gets worse. I found the writing wery intense, and i read it in record spead really, because i couldnt help myself. Interesting plot, and lots of funny/bizare episodes. So yes, i can really reccomend it, if you want some dark and funny reading. Its sort of nihilistic and black.
And look forward to what i mean when i mention the orangutang....
Flux: my brothers got "Survivor", so that will be my next project. Apparently, its wery good as well.

Excellent book. Some very good dark humour in it and even touching on philosophy in places. It's very hard to pidgeon hole Mr. Palahnuick's work, but he is one of my favourite American authors.
Dirty Priest: Yes, Survivour is worth a read too.

Survivor is good. "Invisible Monsters" will be up your alley if you dug Choke, continuing with a treasure trove of all the Medical Information you wanted to know but were too afraid to ask. Particulary relating to sex change, hormones and cosmetic surgery.

There's rumors of a survivor movie and trent reznor for the score.
That'd be interesting
P.s. I've read both fight club and choke, both amazing. Highly recommended.

I like Survivor a lot more than Choke. I really enjoyed Lullaby as well.
Suvivor is the best in my opinion though.

Yes, aside from Fight Club of course, as it was more original, and had the movie to compliment it.
