I know that many people have read this book after seeing the movie, but I've never heard people really talk about WHY they enjoyed it.

I'm not watching the movie until I read I read the book. I plan on reading all of Chuck Palahniuk's books someday or another. I've heard he's an amazing writer, depending on the style of writing in which you enjoy.

Mhm. He really is.
I've read both Fight Club and one other book by him, Choke. Both were very good books.

i like his style in Fight Club. I really enjoy reading all the stream of conscience things and the way it's structured with all the cuts and stops.. it's not difficult to understand.

The book was good. My favorite part would have to be the stuff involving the lye.

I have the book Survivor by Chuck P. It's pretty much amazing. Invisible Monsters is really good too.

I haven't gotten around to reading any of his other books.. I heard mixed things about all of them.

INVISIBLE MONSTERS! My friend loves that book to bits. I'm getting it next time they have it at the library.

I've seen it but I've never read it. I thought the movie was awesome. But I was a little confused since I'd only watched it once. I need to see that again.

If you plan on seeing it again, the book would totally benefit you.

Mleh, this is one of those books that's raved about but I've never read. I need to get around to it and see the movie.

// Oh, Blogring. Rest in peace.
