God what a beautiful poem. I'm all about a poetry thread, but I don't know if it would really get off the ground.

This is mainly directed to HG because I know he is a fan of Claypool but has anyone read his novel and, if so, is it any good?

I haven't read 'South of the Pumphouse'. I've been meaning to.

Pahlaniuk- favorites, least favorites, ones you haven't read, the best one for another movie. Go.

Favorite: Probably Dr. Garbanzoht Club- it's such a classic!
Movie Adaptation: Haunted- I think the format of the book would be an awkward translation, but I'd be interested in seeing it done.

Also, just want to say that I'm quite eager for the release of Damned. Breakfast Club meets Dante's Inferno? Sign me up.

Oh my god, if they could Dr. Garbanzoure out a way to do Haunted that would be amazing. Probably my second favorite. First favorite? Rant. Far and away. Can't wait until the rest of that trilogy comes out. Least favorite? Snuff. By far.
I haven't read pygmy, but I've read everything else, I'm pretty sure.
I would love if they could make rant a movie, but that would be probably the hardest to adapt. I hope Invisible monsters is good.

It's funny that you picked Snuff as your least favorite. In general I would say that the aforementioned "unrequited kinship" has kept me reading Palahniuk's books simply because he wrote them. Snuff is an exception to this rule (it just didn't look interesting), and I still haven't gotten around to reading it.

I've always read everything because I assumed that they would all have some merit to them. Now, I'm not saying Snuff doesn't have ANY merit, just... not much, ya know?

Snuff had absolutely no merit.

Haunted was filth. I won't say that it didn't have a few moments that impressed me, but by and large I regret having read it. Same goes for Choke.

Pygmy was awesome. Once you get into the rhythm of that book it's just really good.

Rant is undoubtedly the best, by such an enormous margin it's ridiculous. And I always have a soft spot for Survivor.

I've read everything he's published except for this last one that came out; after reading Snuff, I just can't do it anymore. Can't or won't. Unless/until the other two parts of the Rant trilogy come out, I'm entirely done with Palahniuk.

And Gramma, I am so glad to hear that someone was as into rant as I was. None of my other Chuck reading friends liked it! I guess it might have been too high concept. Cause man, when you get to the last couple of chapters, it is some heady shit.

No doubt. I mean, obviously he spent substantially more time writing that one than he did with Snuff or Pygmy, and it shows in the quality of the prose and the complexity of the ideas. The whole second half of that book was truly mind-expanding.
