Author: Chuck Palahniuk

I haven't read either of those. :shifty

pure genius.

NEW BOOK ANNOUNCED?! :crazy:

Go check his Wiki, y'all. :file:

I've read Snuff, Rant and Choke, but Rant made me super paranoid about contracting rabies.

^ :lmfao

Somehow this piece of information I find to be really, really amusing. :XD

^ I'm a member of his website. Apparently he wrote like, 3 new books whilst he was caring for his mother last year.

The Cult:

In a recent audio interview Chuck did with KPBS, while on the road promoting his latest novel "Pygmy", Chuck openly talked about his next novel. In fact, Chuck revealed that, while caring for his mother last year, he actually wrote three novels! The one which is going to drop in 2010 is called "Tell All" and if you thought Chuck couldn't get anymore original and daring... think again.

The plot: The novel will feature Lillian Hellman, a real life playright. She is best known as Dashielle Hammet's lover and the writer of the controversial film "The Children's Hour" which featured Audrey Hepburn and Shirley McClain as lesbians. According to the interview, Chuck wants to reinvent her as a "larger than life Super Hero" and talk about her incredible life and exploits, as she wrote about them in her memoir "An Unfinished Woman".

^ :cheese:

I love Lillian Hellman's plays! I'm so excited for that to come out! I'm sure it will be amazing.

I'm just plain excited for a book. :XD

Rant is so freakin' awesome. :weird

I JUST FINISHED READING SURVIVOR GUIZE :crazy:

And it made no sense the first time, as usual, so I'mma have to read it again. :tehe:

I've only read Snuff and Guts. :tehe:

I started reading Rant, but I didn't really like it.. And I just got Haunted from my library.

I'm doing my psu for english on Snuff. :XD

I refuse to read Haunted. It's so gross. :hand:

Haunted looks so awesome, but my library has a wait list for it, so I don't know when I'll get to read it.

^ I love your sig :XD
His books are amazing Although I've only read Lullaby, Survivor and Invisible Monsters. Invisible Monsters was definitely my favourite. Although it kept getting the Panic at the Disco song stuck in my head :tehe:

Your av made my day. :XD

WELL SHEEE'S NOT BLEEDING ON THE BALLROOM FLOOOR. JUST FOR THE ATTENTION. 'CAUUUSE THAT'S JUST RIDICUUULOUUUSLYY OFF. :lmfao

I haven't read anything by him yet but I have for the longest time. :cheese: However, I'm flat broke and the library doesn't have them. :omfg:

:cheese: WHAT?! NO! THAT'S CRAZY! :crazy:

You could try downloading copies of PDF files but then Chuck and some of the hxc fans of Chuck might get mad at you. :XD

That's how I read Diary, at least :shifty

Sheriff G. Way:

Your av made my day. :XD

I'm glad :tehe:

I just started reading Pygmy today. The broken English is pissing me off so badly. And the story is really...disturbing. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy! :cheese:

But it's Chuck, so I must read it. :tehe:

^ It probably is supposed to be a comedy, knowing him. :tehe:

I read the first few pages, but it drove me nuts. I had trouble figuring out exactly what was going on. He was on a plane with a group of terrorists or something?

The thing wasn't really the fact that it was broken English. It was the fact that, not only was it broken English, but he did that weird-metaphor-and-unconventional-imagery thing, like in his other books. Those, it worked, but in this, it's like, "Wait... what just happened?"

I could read it 'cause that's how my mom used to speak English. :tehe:

It was hilarious for me, the broken English, because that's how so many Asians speak English when they first arrive in America.

But yeah, the book really did make no sense for me either. I got the general gist but it was still really confusing. :XD
