Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk

Anchor, 2004

Brilliant and visceral
Palahniuk's brutally honest look at the suffering of his creative protagonist is haunting and grips you right away. If you've grown up in a small beach town, you understand the love-hate relationship between locals and tourists. If you're an artist, you'll understand ...

Fight Club: A Novel

Chuck Palahniuk

W. W. Norton, 2005

I am Jack's smirking revenge.
Outstanding book! Power animals, split personality disorders, soap, fighting, mayhem, support groups, tainted food, castration, the book has a little bit of everything......... I unfortunately saw the movie, at least 5 times before getting around to reading this ...

Survivor: A Novel

Chuck Palahniuk

Anchor, 2000

Muahahaha
"You won't be able to tell your friends about this book. You'll feel dirty just listening. And in the end it will be one of your favorites ever. Palahniuk's brilliance is his ability to wrap subtlety inside of blinding excess. He's like a guy who punches you in the ...

Invisible Monsters

Chuck Palahniuk

W. W. Norton & Company, 1999

GREAT
I'm studying to be a Secondary English teacher and hope to use this book along with the first "Persepolis" in my classes. Satrapi illustrates her life in a charming and hilarious way, guaranteed to grab many types of readers and learners. After reading her graphic ...

Snuff

Chuck Palahniuk

Doubleday, 2008

Fantastic
I love Palahniuk books. But I can say, Haunted had some good short stories to it, as did Stranger than fiction. Both had perfect stories in them, complete, start to finish, work that would bring a smile to Amy Hampel's face. But this book, (Rant, not a big fan) was ...

Haunted: A Novel

Chuck Palahniuk

Anchor, 2006

A fantastic reading experience!
I LOVED this book. The writing is excellent. The author managed to bring out a different voice for each story. There was not a false moment in the narration--it all rang true. By the end I felt like I knew these characters. In our "reality show" culture where there are ...

Rant: The Oral Biography of Buster Casey

Chuck Palahniuk

Anchor, 2008

This guy is so strange
I thought it was excellent. Ye sit took awhile to get rolling and it was a touch confusing trying to see where it would lead. But the last 1/4 of the book was impossible to put down. Palanhiuk's standard twists and turns are all there. Well worth the read.

Choke

Chuck Palahniuk

Anchor, 2002

joy
To me, this book alone defines the hilarious chaos of a post-Y2K world -- especially since I turned 18 the year it was published (even though it didn't find me until 2005). I don't know any other modern American writer who is more honest, unmerciful, intelligent, and ...

Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories

Chuck Palahniuk

Anchor, 2005

Guilt & Redemption
Reading Chuck Palahniuk's collection of oddball 'strange-but-true' stories, articles written for various magazines about twisted people and their twisted little hobbies, is like watching "America's Most Terrifying Videos" or reading "Ripley's Believe It or Not." You ...

Lullaby

Chuck Palahniuk

Anchor, 2002

Best book I've read to date
This book is so relevant! I've read some of his other work, and this by and far is the best. He hits on so many things that relate to the world today. Yes, it has dark dark humor in it, but that is what really opens your eyes to the other comments in his book. The ...

Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories

Chuck Palahniuk

Doubleday, 2004

Better Than I Expected!
These stories reveal a more personal side of Palahniuk that you may not have even realized was there. They're hopeful, inspirational, and as always, completely outrageous. These are not the typical quasi-horror stories Chuck has written in the past. But they are ...

Haunted : A Novel of Stories

Chuck Palahniuk

Doubleday, 2005

Disturbing, but Rings True
And the fact some of these stories do ring true might be the most disturbing thing of all. While reading, I was alternately disgusted, horrified, and amused. I was most uncomfortable when Palahniuk's characters expressed thoughts I could identify with...but that ...

Non-Fiction
Chuck Palahniuk

Random House Uk Ltd, 2005

Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories: Unabridged Selections

Random House Audio, 2004

Stranger than Fiction: True Stories by Chuck Palahniuk
This is, in fact, one of the strangest books I have ever read -- also one of the funniest and most endearing. I thought about it for weeks and then sent it to several friends.

You Do Not Talk About Fight Club: I Am Jack's Completely Unauthorized Essay Collection (Smart Pop series)

Benbella Books, 2008

Pervasive and multidisciplinary, this insightful exploration discusses how and why this seminal work developed, and continues to grow, such a cult following. When Fight Club punched its way onto the scene a decade ago, it provided an unprecedented glimpse into the American male’s psyche and rapidly turned into a euphemism for a variety of ...
