Palahniuk is one of my favorite writers... I've read all of his work, except for his latest, Haunted. I would say Fight Club, Survivor, and Choke are his best. I really enjoyed Choke.
Anyways, while I am posting here I may as well put it to use. I just recently finished Curse of Lono by Hunter S. Thompson (another one of my favorites). This book was absolutely histerical... More comedic genius from the worlds greatest journalist. I went through hell to get this book. I finally tracked the thing down at a Borders, after it being out of print for years, and recently re-released. The thing cost me fifty bucks, and is fucking huge. I mean, this thing is HUGE. It's about 1.5 times the size of my foot... and I wear a size 12 shoe. If I wanted, I could kill a bear with it, and skin it using the corner of the hardcover. But I would never do that; not when this is such a lovely piece of literature. It's a quick and easy read, and very amusing. Ralph Steadman's illustrations are sick, twisted, and excellent. In color, and about 20 inches tall.
I also finished Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughter-House Five last night. Another astonishingly quick read. It was wonderful... Very well written.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
