unlike Survivor, the end of fight club fucking bored me, i just skimmed the pages and yes he was in a mental home olr something but i just didnt care, it felt utterly drawn out, I can clearly see why if there was no film of fight club, palahniuk would be very unknown, he just has such a boring writing style at times. You can stop reading his book for months and pick it up and you havent missed anytrhing because each chapter reads the same on its own.

What do you think pf Pahlanuik's 'Haunted'? My girlfriend bought the book and offered it to me with the words 'Just read it'. By the end we were both so fucking angry we'd wasted our time. What's his deal, he just went all out sick in the book, with twisted logic and a disregard for everything? Women raping a transexual at a rape crisis meeting out of revenge? Police Officers fucking the toy dummy used at the Police station?

Awful...

What Happened to Lani Garver? by Carol Plum-Ucci.
It made me think about how badly society treats people it doesn't understand.

We can be quite awful, really.
