I just read "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk, the author of "Fight Club". What an amazing book, you should read it if you liked "Fight Club" or are interested in satire and/or death cults. |

Jarworski do indeed love Chuck :D I think Survivor is brilliant, just like all his other books really (aside from Invisible Monsters). It just has such an imaginative storyline. What's interesting about Palahniuk is that he's progressing, diversifing. Unlike some of his contemperaries (Bret Easton Ellis) he's not satisfied to stick with the same formula/genre (although each of his books start at the end - noticed that?) and so Lullaby is a horror novel done in his style. His new books sound extremely promising and since he's into a lot of the same horror novelists as I am (Ira Levin to name one), I'm looking forward to them immensely! You should check out his site if you haven't already, as it tells you what books are coming out (and about them) and also gives you the REAL ending of Survivor. Good stuff. |

I LOVED lullaby. That and choke are the only ones I've read by chuck. I'd like to read invisible monsters, but jar's kinda put me off it |

when will Lullaby be available as a paperback? i've read choke and survivor, will read fight club last since i "know the story" from the film (no matter how different it is on screen). |

Choke is probably my favourite. Jar: Cheers for the heads up re: the real ending to survivor Tits: Fight Club isn't that different from the film really, you're not missing much. |

"and also gives you the REAL ending of Survivor." I'm having trouble finding the REAL ending on the site... ? can someone be a little more specific as to where I can find it? do I need to register? |

you know, i didn't think invisible monsters wasn't worth the read at all. it is an interesting first effort; there's really a style to it. and i think you are actually missing a lot if you don't read fight club. it made me appreciate the movie more, anyhow. it's a great adaptation. i wonder what i would have thought if i had read the book before the movie came out: i wish i had! |

the funny thing about chuck palahniuk is that he is huge and muscular and wears tight shirts. i went to a bookstore reading type deal here in madison, and he read from choke (because it had just come out on paperback or something, i dont really know, the book had been out for a year or so). afterwards, he was signing books, but i had to race out because i parked illegally and was in no mood for tickets. i had a friend give him my book while i booked it to my car, and chuck wrote "Mimi - you can park anywhere you want." |

Invisable Monsters was the book I was trying to remember in the god discussion because of the great TV/God Annalogy. |
