Chuck Palahniuk- writer

List of books:
Choke- my personal favorite
Fight Club- adapted to the highly popular movie
Survivor
Lullaby
Diary
Invisible Monsters
Haunting

From the books I've read (Choke, Survivor, and Invisible Monsters) and the Fight Club the movie, the stories have similar narratives: the droning sardonic outsider (think Edward Norton's narration in Fight Club).

He describes his main characters all as "lonley people looking for a way to connect." Brilliant stories. incredible dialogue.

10/10

He's a great writer.

Haunted is my fave of his, but Fight Club is wicked as well.

He's my favorite writer, and Haunted is my favorite book (yeah...I haven't read Fight Club yet...)

YAY!

Must agree with the love for Haunted -- it contains all the best ingredients of storytelling, including interesting characters and morbidly funny tales -- not to mention, a high body count that leaves the reader in wonder of who exactly will make it out alive. Fight Club was pretty good, but it made a better film adaptation.

Of his books I have read, Diary, Fight Club, Choke, and Invisible Monsters.
I give him a yay. I LOVE Invisible Monsters.
