I know there are a lot of fans on here of this writer. Since there is a new book though I just thought I would ask what everyone's favorite book was by him. Myself I liked Fight Club and Choke immensely. I also liked survivor just about as much. In fact I think Lullaby and Rant were the only two I wasn't as appreciative of.

Also his new book looks great. It is called Pygmy and it looks great. I never got to read Haunted or Snuff and I was thinking of buying all of them at once if I can.

I think the one you mention is called Stranger Than Fiction. It was pretty good I thought. I also read the one about the city of Portland Oregon. It was a very interesting book on a city the author obviously loves.

I love this man and the way he writes and the topic that he chooses to write about.

Diary was a good book too.

I should also add that aside from Fight Club there is another movie based off a book by this author called Choke. I just bought this movie and plan to watch it later.

this is a short story he used to read on one of his book tours. It isn't like his writing but it shows you a little bit of how wierd it can get.

I noticed his name in a lot of profiles. In any case if you ever want to I would recommend Survivor or Diary.

I've never read one of his books actually. I did read a part of one his books for school a couple of years ago but I can't even remember from what book, it was pretty good tho.
