Will you marry me? I know, I know, I am married already, but Chuck...I swear to you...we can make it work.
So, I just finished Snuff
, my second Chuck Palahniuk book and all I can say is-- where has he been all my life? I have a new top five in my favorite writers. God. What a fucking brilliant, irreverent, oddly poignant, genius book!
And as an added bonus, imagine my delight when on page 85 I read this: "If you need facts and figures," she says, "then I recommend The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus by Violet Blue..."
Ha! I was dying. That a gorgeous little book by Violet Blue (that contains fiction by Alison Tyler, no less!) getting a hardcore nod, how cool is that? I mean, I've only been in one BWE and I felt famous for a second. I'm not sure why, but I'll take it. Hey, baby, I'll take famous in any position I can get it.
Snuff left me happy and sated and thoroughly jealous of the talent within. I must say, I love to hate Chuck because he is just that good.
(((But Chuck, if you read this, gimme a call. I promise...we can work it out. No worries...)))
XOXO

Wait! Wait! I have dibs. ;-)
We should start a club - kind like Fight Club - but this would be ... um, I'm trying to think of a cool acronym ... hmmm. Well, in the meantime we could call it Smut Writers for Chuck or something. Hey Kirsten, wanna be a charter member?
I'll marry you. Oh, wait, I think we're already married. And now you're cheating on me with Chuck P.? For shame!
XXX,

you knew i was a slut when you married me...
Well, I knew that was in the vows, but I thought it was just a joke, "Do you, Slut, promise to love, honor, and obey..."

I think my favorites of Palahnuik's are (in this order):
Survivor
Fight Club
Choke
Lullabye
Stranger than Fiction
Haunted
Snuff
Palahniuks I don't like:
Diary
Rant
oh, i am reading Survivor right now! Very excited. My TBR pile lately is Chuck. It's the Chuck show. All Chuck, all the time. When I find a writer who resonates with me, I tend to binge on their work if there's a back log!

I forgot Invisible Monsters on my list. Not sure where I'd put it. Maybe after Choke. Reading that and Fight Club back to back are NOT recommended.
