Everyone needs to read it because it was insanely good.

Whats it about? Do you honestly expect anyone to read it just because you say it's "awesome awesome awesome?"

Come on, you gotta sell it.

K.

It's about a guy from a religious cult that 10 years ago a lot of the members committed a mass suicide and ever so slowly the rest of the cult is killing themselves.
At the very beginning of the book he's in a plane in which he hijacked and he is telling his life story on this plane in which he is flying until it hits the the ground. (not a spoiler thats given to you at the start).

There's a lot more about it, seriously pick it up, check it out from the library just read it it's really good.

He also wrote Fight Club

You left out 2 "awesomes"

Better explained here

He also wrote the book "Choke" was based on, which I definitely shouldn't have watched with my mom.

[Scidadle]

Yes, I'm reading choke soon aswell.

 

[Raistlin]

Go read The Stand by Stephen King, and THEN you can talk to me about awesome books.

[Scidadle]

No

:DDDDD

hate books.

This author intrigues me tho

(No disrespect just me being a prick)

Just poping in to say that I thank you for making a Chuck palahniuk thread that is not about fight club.
Anyway I was thinking about reading Choke a few days ago, it seems interesting.

Raistlin:
I LOVELOVE The Stand.

 

[Scidadle]

Sure thing brahhhh.

I've never even seen/read fight club so

 

[T3h Albino]

Jin vs Mook GO

I'm not a fan of Palahniuk. Choke is depressing and gratuitous. Fight Club is ok. I want to read more by him though.

 

[Scidadle]

Read Survivor

It's awesome

The ending is deceiving tho do some research when you finish

Lullaby looked good too

 

[ph00tbag]

Sounds like interesting light reading, although I've always seen Palahniuk as something of a pop-lit author. I knocked through Fight Club in no more than three hours.

 

[Scidadle]

I can't compare it to any of his other books this is the only one I've actually read. But you won't be dissapointed
