I've really got into this guy lately, he's a pretty great writer. I picked up Fight Club (sheerly because I was a fan of the movie) and learned he was a great literary artist. I then read Guts, a promo of his anthology of 'true' stories called "Stranger than fiction", and have recently bought and half-read Non-Fiction, a lot of true accounts of his, and other people's lives.
I've just made an order on Amazon for a few more of his books, namely:
Choke
Survivor
Diary
Invisible Monsters
Just wondering if anyone out there is a Chuck fan and if they have any recomendations?
I'd recommend Palahniuk to those who like the works of Bret Easton Ellis and perhaps on a nihlistic level Stephen King.

I didnt read the synopsis of Invisible Monsters - I just liked the title and author and thought "why not".

I thought some parts of Survivor were very good and others pretty poor.
Invisible Monsters is the best, IMO. Read it pretty much all in one go.
Survivor second after that.
Survivor second after that.
I think survivor is the one that appeals to me the most, the premise is rather cool.
I'll review them when I get them and recommend or slander them accordingly.

Survivor was okay
Yeah, good writer.
Lullaby is a good one. Might read it again actually, it's been a while.

Choke is good, as is Lullaby and Survivor (and Fight Club, obviously). Wasn't so keen on Diary, haven't read Invisible Monsters yet.

Sounds like a barrel of laughs.

omfg that's my name!!1
I remember reading an extract of Guts in a paper a while back.
I can't remember much of it though - dunno if that's an indication that I didn't enjoy it or just if my memory sucks balls.
