Chuck Palahniuk's Survivor.  So far, yummy.

the man knows how to write a sentence.


Survivor was the first Palahniuk I read, and still in some ways one of my favourites. I just got Diary, and Haunted, but haven't read either yet. Apart from that I have read them all, probably rating Survivor and, the one with Monster in the title as my favourites. And possibly Choke.

Ilium but I'm like 6 pages in. It's the first Simmons book I've read but I've heard many times that Hyperion = good.

!!

Yes, Hyperion is excellent and Ilium is another good one.

Hope you enjoy the read as much as I did.  BTW, the sequel, Olympos, comes out in July.

So I dug on Ilium so I got Olympos and finished it this week and . . . well, yeah. Olympos was just weird. I'm not sure quite how to describe it but I hope his other books aren't like that. Plus I've never before seen somebody call a woman's fun bits her sex. And he did it like 4 times in one paragraph. It was very jarring.

You've read the Stainless Steel Rat books, right?  If you're going to read Harrison, these are a must (at least the first 3 or 4).

So I finally finished Infinite Jest after a month and I'm a bit confused. I understand he doesn't tie everything up for you and some of the conclusions were easy to make but some of it is just hard to wrap my head around. Like how many narrators were there and what was the deal with the footnotes?
