survivor and choke are my favs of his. just read snuff a few months ago and thought it was drivel. haunted has some nasty short stories in it.

lullaby, survivor, & choke are personal favorites...and of course fight club is not to be missed.

By principle, I never read books that aren't at least 100 years old - but Chuck is ok.

I tried to read CHOKE a few years ago but lost interest half way through.

cool, thanks for the recommendations, im not sure whos actually reading these audio books guess ill find out.
there's a docco out about him also, trailer looked pretty amateur though anyone seen?

survivor and choke, i'd go with those. go with the rest if you like his style, because they all read in the same sort of pseudo anarcho tone that identifies small motifs of civil disobedience and just keeps playing off those throughout.

from his cult site:
"Fight Club is a movie that defied.....defined.....just plain out shook the barriers of our past millennium...it came out just at the right time and movie historians that study it years from now will call it a landmark in film for what was to come in the 21st Century. You won't know what to call it.. You won't know how to explain it. All you will know is that it got under your skin. Tyler Durden has shown you the way."

my favorites are choke and invisible monsters.
I did not enjoyed survivor that much.
- ninjasavant0
I agree with the exact opposite of what dyspl said. I thought survivor was his best book.

my girl and i both enjoyed choke, but haven't read any of his other stuff
it's a super quick read, only a couple hundred pages

i had read choke about five years ago but just picked it up again to reread before seeing the movie. i couldn't finish it... didn't remember it being so blah. and i heard the movie was shite. i've also read lullaby and it was ok. i'd rather read vonnegut.

He spent his early writing years in Portland. I read "Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon," which is an interesting and quick read if you ever visit and are looking for an off-beat guidebook. It is a rough account of the city through his eyes. Who knew Portland had such a seedy underbelly?
