I saw Fight Club, then listened to the running commentary with him and the screenplay writer. Bought the book. Then bought another of his. Then another. Then another.

See the movie, it's great.

I'm new here too. I saw Fight Club twice in a row. Did not even know it was a book. Loved it. Then randomly, a year and a half later, a friend came to visit from out of town, and brought me Survivor as a birthday present. I was mainly shocked that he remembered my birthday. No one ever remembers my birthday, usually not even me. My first reaction to the book was, "Hey this looks really good..what the hell kind of last name is that?" The book sat on my shelf for a couple of months. I finally picked it up and read it in 2 days. I was hooked right then and made a mental note to read everything he put out. To this day, my dog-eared and re-read in the bathtub copy of Survivor is one of my favorite possessions. Thanks to John for the birthday gift that spawned a pseudo obsession.

A friend lent me Survivor and I was hooked.

I had seen Fight Club and loved it. At first I didn't even know that it was a book. Once I read Fight Club, I moved on to Choke, and then to Survivor. Still reading!

Randomly picked up Choke at the bookstore and instantly feel in love with his writing. Read al of his books now and I want more!

Greetings to all in this apparently dormant tribe.

WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!

OK. Now that I have your attention, please allow me to introduce you to Christopher Moore:

www.chrismoore.com/

I have very much enjoyed all of Chris's output, and while checking out his website one day to find out when his next book was due, I stumbled upon his recommendations for other books to read while I waited. He had lots of good things to say about our boy Chuck.

I decided to start with Fight Club and read Chuck's work in chronological order. (I still haven't seen the movie, though it is on my Netflix Queue somewhere.) Unfortunately, my local library can't seem to keep all their copies of Fight Club from vanishing! So one day when my wife was going to the library I asked her to just pick any Palahniuk she could find. She brought me Invisible Monsters.

At first I found the writing style and subject matter a bit odd. I would read a few pages then have to go back and reread them again to make all the pieces fall together into a coherent picture in my mind. After awhile I got used to it and began to quite enjoy his quirky style.

Choke, which I read next, seemed a bit more polished, and easier to relate to, as well, addict that I am!

Guts was interesting. When I am folding freshly laundered clothes, it's hard to pull sleeves right side out without thinking about Guts.

I just finished Lullaby and liked it a lot. There seemed to be more of a narrative style about it than either Choke or Invisible Monsters. And of course after I turned the last page I had to go back and read all the italicized chapters again.

My darling wife got me Fight Club as a Valentine's Day present, so that is my next read. If the first couple of chapters are any indication, I shall enjoy it immensely!

And oh what joy to still have so many of Chuck's books to look forward to!

An ex friend and I were big fans of fight club when it came out and we read everything we could get our greedy paws on written by him.

I was had closed up my soap making operation and was seeking a supplier for my shop. I was talking to my best friend about it and he told me I should see Fight Club because "it's about soap and you'll like it". So, I went to see and I liked it a whole lot. I have it on video. I bought the book and read it and liked his style. I learnt that he has worked with Tom Spanbauer, who is also a favorite writer.

When I was taking a long vacation in Ontario, I started checking all his books from the library. I put myself on the waiting list for whatever was checked out and myself checked out everything that was on the shelf. Now I want more. I don't know how many really good books Chuck has in him but I have never been disappointed.

After I read "Guts" I started wondering if those hot tub drownings where people with long hair get it caught in the works are more than the accidents the reports make them out to be.
