Palahniuk's Rant op
Aug. 26, 2008
Apparently, 'Rant' by Chuck Palahniuk (FIGHT CLUB) has been his latest novel to be optioned. There are no details other than that, and that it is already in the early stages of development. When reached for a comment Palahniuk vaulted onto his diamond encrusted Nimbus 2000 and said "ch-ching, mother fuckers!!"In the novel, Buster "Rant" Casey escapes from his hometown to becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing, where participants dress their cars with tin-can tails, “Just Married” toothpaste graffiti, and other refuse, then look for designated markings in order to stalk and crash into each other. The book chronicles Casey's short life in a series of oral testimonies by friends he made crashing.

You can't hate King - he's the King.
Leave Patterson alone because no one writes well enough to get that many people to read that much.
Dan Brown - take him or leave, but I still find his work entertaining.
Everyone should try Michael Slade for serious horror. Headhunter and Ghoul are his best and

It's nice to see that this many people still read books! Peace everyone.

It's nice to see I touched the same nerve you did, when you casually discarded Chuck. Neither are Steinbeck, but shouldn't be dismissed either.

My Fave Palahniuk
I can dig it
It would actually be very difficult I think to convey everything the book does, especially the whole rabies and night timer aspects of it.
'Snuff' is a fucking awesome book. it would make a great (if NC-17) film

Although i haven't read this book. I'm looking forward to it because it's a Chuck [btw, many people know who he is where i live].
I want them to do Survivor, his best novel.

Don't thinks so Adnauseum
Most overrated author in America? Hardly. Dan Brown, anyone? Tom Clancy? Stephen King? Palahniuk is a modest success by bestseller standards, and he's the park statue that book critics and book snobs take a dump on. Hating Palahniuk is much more popular than liking him.

How is Palahniuk a sell-out? He writes the way he wants to please a pretty small audience. Juvenile, sure. Sell-out? I don't think so. If anything, he sticks to his guns too much, and his evolution as a writer has been slow. But I applaud your knee-jerk contrarianism, dramatic punctuation, and abuse of the word "like".
sell-out
