Andy and Palahniuk

#

Started by Charlie in Chit-Chat

I have read Fight Club Survivor Invisible monsters Lullaby and half read choke and diary.

Survivor is the best one and neeeds to be made into a film.

Although hollywood would ruin it and spoil the mystery ending.

I headr They are making invisible monsters though. Although how they will keep the twist secret til the end is a mystery.

Anyone else like Palahniuk ?

iv only read survivor, but i heard a rumour that brad pitt brought the rights to it after he did fight club! and when that happens (actors buying movie rights)it takes forever for a film to be made! would make a great film though!!:p

The only Palahniuk I’ve ever read was a short story in a magazine that came with The Observer a few months ago.

Can’t remember what it was called, but the front of the magazine said:

IS THIS THE MOST SICKENING STORY EVER PUBLISHED?

Or something to that effect. Apparently when Palahniuk read it at lecture halls people physically threw up the isles, fainted etc

It was about the mishaps that happen to young men when they try unusual (inspired?) forms of masturbation. Anyone ever read or heard of it?

I’ve read ‘Choke’. It’s brilliant. It’s about this guy who fakes choking on food in restaurants in order to get them to feel sorry for him and send him money. He uses this money to pay for the medical bills of his sick mother and on top of this he’s a sex addict.

there was an excerpt from it on the guardian website, I read that. I thought it was utterly pointless adolescent oooh-look-ma-I’m-so-shocking nonsense.

I’ve also read Invisible Monsters, which I thought was a load of rubbish, though admittedly uttered at high speed.

everyone else seems to love palahniuk though, so it must be me… :rolleyes:

Lol… I found out by looking around the website Squall posted that its called ‘Guts’.

So is it a fair reflection of his novels? Which novel should I read first?
