They're somethin' else.
He's hands down my favorite literature author ever. But he's got some problems as a writer that seriously annoy me.

The main one being that almost all he ever writes are snarky disaffected heartless assholes. This makes Pygmy and Rant his best works by default for breaking away from this little formula of his.

    That's precisely why I'm not terribly fond of Palahniuk.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    The only exposure to him I have is the Fight Club movie, which is my favorite movie.

    Fight Club is a chick flick for dudes.

    I mean it's a good movie, but I'm really tired of swaggering twats talking about 'things we own owning us' when we all know that if they had to go twenty minutes without cable they'd be talking suicide pacts.

    >implying this isn't Fight Club's sole defining trait

    One foot in front of the other, every day.
    In the same vein, Highlander.

    You can change. You can.
    Fight Club is a movie about self growth and finding a balance between sheer anarchism and complete calmness and materialsm

    Fight Club is a book about an insane man who thinks that using a second personality will help him get laid and ends up getting him into a never ending cycle of violence that he keeps perpetuating out of sheer wankery.

    Yeah, the movie is bette. Even Chuck-e-Cheese agrees

    Also, my problem with Chuck in a nutshell is that he's Holden Caufield writing all his teen angst and selling it, claiming it's not as materialistic and hollow as the things he denounces

    that is all.

    DO IT FGT

    And yeah, despite that very valid put down, he's still my favorite author.
