The Formula: Chuck Palahniuk Novels



It’s not a good sign for an author when each new book makes you question the quality of the ones before it... it’s kinda like Tony Scott if you’re talking movie directors, Metallica if you’re talking bands, or Tony Hawk if you’re talking games.


Still, his books are nothing if not fast and subversively funny.  You will laugh, and you will feel like a scumbag for it.

  2. I really enjoyed the first handful of Palahniuk books. They were extremely addictive. My first Palahniuk book was Survivor...read it in 1 night. His most recent books have become a little less gripping. Maybe reading about sexual deviants gets old, or like Anthony said...I'm just a scumbag for reading about someone getting killed in a "porn-dump"(see Survivor) and still reading till the end. Either way, I will continue reading Palahniulk's book. They are still good reads. Finger's crossed that Pygmy is fantastic.
