like FC, survivor and choke. lullaby and haunted were kind of boring. he uses the same tricks in every book so i started to loose interest. liked those 3 but not sure i would read him again without a trusted recommendation.

I tried choke 3 times, never could reach 25% of the book

loved fight club and survivor but got bored of choke and started seeing too much formula in his writing

Anyone read 'Non Fiction'? Just workin' my way through, rather good for Chuck writing essays!

I heard through the grapevine, that Chuck has a cock. Word is born.

if you're feeling up for it, snuff is pretty good.
and if by good, you mean disturbing and will definitely fuck your mind up for days.

Lullaby was okish but I can't remember the other 2 I've read such was their impact.

survivor isn't worth reading.
choke is great to start with, or fight club. those are his 2 best. Lullaby is pretty good. Stranger than Fiction is interesting—they are true short stories of his travels through weird ass parts of the US. Its non-fiction. Really though, survivor sucks.

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?

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.

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 agree with the exact opposite of what dyspl said. I thought survivor was his best book.

my favorites are choke and invisible monsters.
I did not enjoyed survivor that much.

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."
