he's amazing. let's talk about how awesome he is, and we can post quotes and just talk about how despite the fact that you want to be an author, everytime you read one of his books you slam your face into things because you'll never write that well.
or at least I do that. I only metaphorically slam my face though. I'm not hardcore enough to really do it.
quotes: -Game shows are designed to make us feel better about the random, useless facts that are all we have left of our education.
-If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't.
-No matter how much you think you love somebody, you'll step back when the pool of their blood edges up too close.
-People used what they called a telephone because they hated being close together and they were scared of being alone.
-“Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.”
-“What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.”
-“I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.”
i need more time. the last novel i read was...hmm...something for school. don't remember the name. it sucked. well, it didn't suck, it just didn't catch my interest. i haven't read anything by palahniuk, but maybe with no cable and perhaps limited internets, i might turn to books again for entertainment.
i like the dark materials trilogy by phillip pullman however, i have yet to see the movie made out of the first book, the golden compass
janae might want to kill me for attempting to discuss another author. whatever.
what's a good first if i decide to read any of palahniuk's works?

fight club is a classic and an easy transition if you're getting into his stuff and saw the movie. haunted is a bad first choice because of the GUTS story that made people faint at book readings, invisible monsters is awkward if you're not into random bits of gay sex, survivor is always amazing, snuff and rant are best left for last, diary is always good too.... Lullaby is great but some people give up during the necrophilia.
I'd say start with either: Fight club or Survivor. yeah.
If you have a son named Tyler Durden and a daughter named Marla Singer, that would be weird becasue those characters had sex... a lot. maybe you could move to Arkansas. That brings up another good point; if Kansas is pronounced "can's ass" then how come adding an "ar" in front of it changes the pronunciation to "Ar-kan-saw"? since when was there a rule in the english language that made it do that??? wtf i hate english it should die in a fire. it's kinda like that 'i before e except after c" rule but then we have words like 'receive'? or how through is pronounced "throoo" but get rid of the 'th' and it is suddeny pronounced "ruff". no wonder illegal immigrants don't bother learning english.

but really, they didn't have sex. because tyler durden wasn't real, she was having sex with the narrator who thought she was having sex with tyler durden, and she thought he was tyler durden, but he wasn't.
