He said he was going to alternate entries in the Rant trilogy with other, unrelated books. By my count, there have been three novels since Rant - one a year, like clockwork - and not one has been even distantly connected to Rant.

The only Tom Robbins book I've read is Another Road Side Attraction. I've wanted to read more work of his. Since I went back to school last year all I have been reading are technical books.

Any body have a chance to read any Bentley Little. That's some weird shit.

I adore Tom Robbins, I would recommend reading Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates if you don't already have another in mind.

This blows my mind because I thought Palahniuk had more or less stopped publishing things once I turned 20.

Terribly boring anecdote: For my high school creative writing class, I wrote a (god awful) story that sounded like a 17-year-old trying to write like Chuck Palahniuk. To give my teacher (I was in love with her) an idea of what I was going for, I brought in the recently published "Guts." Trivia points to the first person to correctly identify the publication and thus the punchline to this story.

Well done. Yes, my teacher made a copy of the story and then furtively handed me the magazine because, hurray coincidences, some kid had gotten in trouble that very day for having the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

Yeah, but I was 17. Haven't read Palahniuk in years.

EDIT: In before someone does the rudimentary math for the easy joke.

There were some really good stories in haunted, though. I don't have my copy right now, unfortunately, so I can't look and Dr. Garbanzoure out which ones they were. The Mystery Box... I remember that was one I really liked.

The worst part is that 'Guts' isn't even the foulest thing in that book.

Certainly a true statement. The vivid description of a decomposing body was the worst for me, actually.

I know he's overrated by many, but I'm a closet David Sedaris fan.
That fucker makes me LOL more than any contemporary author.

Fuck I love David Sedaris. The one line in the book 'Dress your family in corduroy and Denim' about dogs eating shit is forever embedded in my brain.

'Happyslapped by a Jellyfish' by Karl Pilkington is the best book I own.
