MDXS 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Choke's really good. My favorite is probably Survivor. Diary was okay...same with Lullaby. Definitely recommended. Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtydutch 9 Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 anyone read anything else with a similar style? Link to post Share on other sites
Socko669 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I think Choke is his best book by far...not too big of a fan of his others...check out Bret Easton Ellis if you like that style. I also recommend Tim Dorsey, Jerry Stahl, and Charles Bukowksi. Hope you enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites

pockets 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 the guy who wrote fight club ?definetly will check out some of his books in futureYeah, Fight club was cool. The ending was much better in the book.the movie ending was stupid. If he lived, why did Tyler die?He created Tyler because he needed Tyler-because Tyler was capable of doing things he wasn't like vandalising and being incredibly cool. What the narrator couldn't do was act like that, so when he shot himself, it was such an extreme act that he no longer needed another person in his subconscious, because he realized he could do anything.And Survivor is my favorite, by far.

I might (buy it) if I hadn’t already read the book, which has such a powerful ending, that even the slightest change would be a huge mistake. If you’re familiar with the book, you’ll know what I mean when I say the only good reason for any deviation from the book was to keep the principle alive, and the less sophisticated audience happy.

Nothing imaginative about it.One of the things I liked about the movie, was how Tyler was coming into creation through quick clips a few times throughout the beginning of the movie. Easier to catch by pausing the DVD at the right spots. Link to post Share on other sites
mbreon 0 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I read Choke a few months ago, and I really enjoyed it. I would also recommend Bret Easton Ellis if you like that kind of style, start with Less Than Zero (yes, that same 80s movie is based on it). And just because he's great, I'd always recommend Kurt Vonnegut. Link to post Share on other sites
