Just stopping by to say hello again. I hope your classes
are going well this semester. I was off to a rocky start, but

josh and i found a new place to move in and it's GREAT!!!
it's a condo, actually, but there're more than old people who live there. i mean, it's a college town. it has:
A) a garage
B) a HUGE screened-in balcony
C) a HUGE deck
D) it's own washer and dryer
E) plush carpeting (instead of that...

so i've been scarce again. things have been happening. i'm looking for a new place because my landlord sucks ass and doesn't give a shit about her tenants. my aunt has lung cancer. my uncle has alzheimer's disease. my dad, who is one of the most selfless and helpful people in the world is getting overworked, stressed out and tired and he doesn't deserve it....

but worthwhile and neet

well i've since finished "Lullaby" and am now onto the "The Bell Jar". I've noticed that so many people list these books as their favorites and I haven't read any good books in a while, so I thought I'd check them out. Good thing too, because they're excellent! I am addicted to Palahniuk and I've only read one book. Same with Plath, although I'm not...

I was addicted to Palahniuk after only one book as well, Invisible Monsters. Someone close to me recommended it, and I loved it. I just started reading Choke today. Lullaby is on my must-buy list.
I really like Wally Lamb as well. I recommend I Know This Much Is True and She's Come Undone to everyone.

Hi! If you like Palahniuk you'd proly like Jonathan Lethem too. His most well known is Motherless Brooklyn.
Very Addictive in my opinion!

See, here's my thing about Palahniuk (not that you asked, but that I'm giving freely): He's a great writer, but he's got too much of a formula. It's a formula that works, but it's still a formula.
He starts the book near the end, at an interesting juncture before the real break-down. That's a short-story trick, to start in the middle of all the action, and that's so you can end it quickly and make it a short story and not a novel. Palahniuk does that with all of his books. Then, twenty or so pages in he flashes back to the beginning and tells the story as normal. Well, as normal as he gets.
This works great for Fight Club. It works really well for Survivor. It works pretty well for Invisible Monsters. Then... well, then it's a formula, and you can see it coming. That might not diminish the pleasure for some, but for me...
So, here's my advice for reading Chuck Palahniuk: read Fight Club, read Invisible Monsters, and then read one other book by him. Then, when it comes to his other books, let someone summarize it for you.

Thank you, everyone, for the birthday wishes. I had a wonderful weekend with my friends! I am now reading "Lullabye" by good ol' Chuck Palahniuk and am in love with it thus far. He's such an awesome writer. Ahhhh summer! Doing nothing--no job, no school--nothing but reading and being lazy and enjoying my vacation. Thank god for unemployment checks
