Default Chuck Palahniuk
"Chuck Plahniuk is an American transgressional fiction novelist.

Palahniuk's books prior to Lullaby have distinct similarities. The characters are people who have been marginalized in one form or another by society, and who react with often self-destructive aggressiveness (a form of story that the author likes to describe as transgressional fiction). Starting with Lullaby, his novels have been satirical horror stories." -Wiki

Works:

Fight Club
Invisible Monsters
Survivor
Choke
Lullaby
Diary
Haunted
Rant
Snuff
Pygmy

Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon
Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories

Diary was terrible, but other then that he's pretty good.

My eyes immediately caught this thread. O_O
Top three favs: Invisible Monsters, Lullaby and Rant.

Snuff was kind of weird.
I hate Fight Club.

I think Survivor might be my favorite, I really got into that one.

Lullaby was also great, and I don't really remember Fight Club. I read it too long ago.

I haven't read Survivor.

I'd still recommend it.

So, did you like Diary? It's either really good, or really bad, depending on who you talk to.

I couldn't get into it. I read the first bit and it just didnt captivate me as much as the book i had read before it (Invisible Monsters) so I stopped reading and read Choke instead :3

That's what I felt like doing, but I can't just stop reading something.

Choke definitely was better though.

I just found a fan-made poster for Invisible Monsters. It's kind of cool.

Read it. You won't be disappointed, even if you read the plot.

Start with Lullaby, it'll probably be the easiest to get into.

Not if you don't like hearing about dead babies.
The ending is pretty harsh.

Personally, I'd say start with either Haunted, Fight Club, or Survivor.

I need to get my hands on Fight Club. Then I'll see about Survivor.

Although I'll probably have to buy both because any library here sucks cocks.
