when i read the book i didnt picture any of the characters looking the way the actors do.
i pictured victor looking more..attractive and with dark hair.
denny skinny
victor's mom ida looking like my dark old italian grandmother with short hair and wrinkles.
and dr. marshall looks sort of like how i pictured her.

Haunted was absolutely my favorite. I don't see how they could ever turn it into a movie though, which is probably a good thing. I have heard rumors of all his books being adapted at one point or another. Who knows. Best part of Survivor was the ready-to-market cures for every known disease. I'm sure it's not too far fetched.

CHOKE was my intro to the bizarre yet enticing machinations of Palahnuik's somewhat demented mind. He certainly held my attention and stirred my visual imagination. I am currently reading RANT and once again am not disappointed. I fully intend on reading all of Chucks's books with much anticipation. I hope that the film will do the book justice . I did see FIGHT CLUB which I thought was great!!! Palahnuik is obscenely outrageous and I love it!! Kuddos Chuck

Survivor has been struggling to be made into a movie for about 8 years now. It keeps getting delayed because people are too squeamish about anything involving plane crashes since 9/11.
I hope they make that movie. The book was beautiful.

Rant is one of the most gorgeous books I've ever read.

I think that you guys are discounting Survivor. I think that is one of his best works. I was actually not a big fan of Diary. It was good, but placed next to Survivor, Choke, and Lullaby I felt it just didn't measure up. In my opinion, Chuck is grinding out books too fast. One a year doesn't give him the time to make it truly amazing. Choke for example was good, but had he allowed himslef to spend some time with it, it could have been amazing. Once again, ALL of his books are great, but his earlier books are the things that will infect your brain with a different perspective that he hasn't been able to repeat recently. In my opinion, Haunted was great and was an exception to this. The sheer madness that people put themselves through is portrayed in this book in a way that no one else could do. Chuck has opened my eyes to a whole other genre of fiction and led me to hunt down other authors who display the world in a similar fashion and offer a cutting social commentary in such a way that it forces you to view the way you interact with your world view in a completely different fashion. Or you could just read a story that freaks you out and miss the point... I for one feel the later is a shame, but unfortunately it is happening more and more with the addition of his movie credits. Not that the movies are a bad thing. It is going to introduce his work to more "thinking" people for years to come.

go Chuck go!

Invisible Monsters is probably one of his toughest reads. Haunted is easily his worst "book". Diary was good. Rant, Choke, and Lullaby are his best.

can't. freaking. wait.

Think of me naked. Penis...penis penis penis penis

God, I hope this movie is good. Choke is my favorite Palahniuk book.
