Chuck Palahniuk, Anyone else love him? Options

[mahokaida]

My friend recently opened me up to the world of Chuck Palahniuk, and since then I've read Haunted, Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Survivor, Diary, and Stranger than Fiction. My favorite is by far Survivor, but I enjoy all of them. His writing style is so completely fresh and it satisfies my dark side. I always find the books totally unpredictable and you never really know what he's going to throw at you. Although I did find Haunted a bit on the boring side, I still loved the short stories that were just...shocking.

Anyone else have their opinions on Chuck Palahniuk? Good or bad, please share!

To clear things up, this is from the website The Cult (www.chuckpalahniuk.net):

How do you pronounce Palahniuk?
PAUL-AH-NIK (Paula Nick). The story goes that Chuck's Grandparents decided to pronounce their name as a combination on their two first names, Paula and Nick. As Chuck relates it: "So many Palahniuk's drop letters from the name. We kept all the letter's but we probably say it the worst.". The 'Old World' pronunciation is PAH-la-NYOOK

I've started on Invisible Monsters...I've gone 'huh?' a couple of times but it's pretty interesting...I would love to see a movie adaption of this.

There's some information on a movie adaptation of this on the Chuck Palahniuk website as well. I agree with you - a movie adaptation would be simply amazing, and I've got some excellent actresses in mind who would be perfect for it. There's also a graphic novel for it which you can also view at the Chuck Palahniuk website.
