I know I'll get lots of hateful comments for this one, but I need to get this off my chest......
Chuck Palahniuk books are predictable and repeat themselves in both concept and style. To me he is nothing more than the latest Judy Blume. I realize that writers have a particular style just as people have a particular personality, but most of us have many facets to our personality, and I feel that Chuck does not. This whole anarchy, right is wrong, challenge authority thing is only "fresh" and "complex" when you're 14. I think it's funny (not funny HA HA) that adults are hopping onto the Palahniuk bus like it's their ride to cool land. I believe people cling to him because they are detatched and sheltered, and his books act as a fisher-price window into the real world. That is pretty scary because as we can tell from his book sales, there are a lot of these people out there. I suppose it's a good thing that he's doing this for us, sort of a "Knowing how shit really goes down for dummies". I still won't read another of his books though.
Discuss amongst yourselves........
Wow, Milla is so cute!!!!!!!!!

but i must admit to everyone that i stole all his books. i mean what true chuck p fan buys his books... he does use some of the same story telling devices throughout his books but for me i think they work well with the way he writes and he wouldn't flow the same way without them. i think it's inspiring to see his work thrive simply cause that means some other crazy stories will get published by other authors. i mostly read non-fiction about punk kids who do all sorts of crazy things so when i read his books it just seems like an extension of the other crazy stories....
i think we have the same taste in women, any time you mention one in your journal i'm in total agreeance.
