Until reading Diary yesterday, I’d never read a book by Chuck Palahniuk. I know, you’re shocked. As much as I read, you’d think… well yea, you would wouldn’t you? I’m not sure why I haven’t read one before. I’ve certainly SEEN Fight Club and I’ve certainly meant to read his books before. I think I went so far as to get Lullaby from the library over the summer but I never managed to read it. (Neither did Michelle, and she’s the one who asked me to get it in the first place!)
Anyway, about Diary. I liked it a lot. Very non-horror Stephen King-like in some ways. Very “Fight Club-like” in other ways. I really liked the art lessons sprinkled into the coma diary. I hope Michelle finds time to read this before it has to go back to the library – or maybe she can borrow it from Jared who is a huge Palahniuk fan. I’d hate for her to miss it – and I think this might make a better movie than Fight Club did.
