Kell said:I'm sure someone has - or perhaps if you give us all a bit more info about him and the books he's written, you'll inspire some of us to give him a try.

I think you'll find that we enjoy a very wide range of genres and styles here - everything from lighthearted chick-lit/lad-lit and romances, to fiendishly clever mysteries and crime thrillers and everything in between (as well as all the detours - LOL!). We also all love hearing other people's thoughts on what they've been reading - many of us have been tempted to try something completely new and different because of another member telling all about it. :mrgreen:

I only saw the film of Fight Club a couple of months ago. Far better than I was expecting, and the kind of things that tells me I should read the book.

Fight Club blew me away when I first read it. It's one of those books that I was so glad I had the chance to pick up. Though it was mainly centered around young/middle-aged men and their dissatisfaction with their place in society, it really spoke to me. I think alot of what Palahniuk says in Fight Club can apply to anyone living today. It's not only the story, but the way it was written. There were so many punchy one-liners in that book! :mrgreen:

I eagerly picked up his other books as they came out, but none of them came close (IMO) to Fight Club. I did enjoy Invisible Monsters and Survivor, but I don't think I even finished Choke or Lullaby. I haven't bothered to pick up his most recent ones.

I would like to give his other books another go, to see whether I feel differently about them now. I honestly don't think he could top Fight Club...but that's just my opinion, of course.

I read 'Fight Club' and I thought it was amazing, I have not read any of his other books, but I have always planned to. x

I have only read Fight Club and half of Haunted but FC is enough for me to consider him brilliant. I want to get onto the others

I have a really interesting edition, it's like someone's face kind of, well from what i can remember, since i moved in i have not rooted through my boxes of books

I really enjoy old Chuck's stuff, but find the nihilism difficult to take after a while, so find I cannot read two of his novels in a row. I very much enjoyed Survivor, Choke, Fight Club and Haunted.
Has anyone tried the author Gken Duncan? He's marvellous as well.

I've read Fight Club, Lullaby, and Choke... I plan on slowly making my way through the Palahniuk canon. I dig his style.
