My opinion is the book is a detestable mockery of urban life. It's a waste of paper, and quite simply soft porn for the masses. I think the writer is a homosexual, and as such is against nature and against God. He will be going to hell as well as everyone who reads such filth.

My name is Anne Rice, I wan't that documented young boy!

Also be sure to include the part where Marla water skis over a ramp thru a flaming hoop, you gotta have that in your paper!

Oh yes, is fight club the one with the endagered species and the man who goes around murdering them? I like that one. Good moral message.

I think it's more of a kooky romantic comedy, didn't you see the [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoAw9ICRhg4]trailer for the movie[/URL]?

PS shouldn't some mod move this thread to the [URL=http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net/community/forumdisplay.php?f=10]Books -> Fight Club[/URL] forum? Probably a moot point I don't think this thread is going to live too long anyway.

his work is minimalist, he uses celebrity culture and slang and seems to have a nihilist theme. many of his books are the same... and the diary one is just... bad, but survivor and fight club are quite good, good reading at different times of your life.

just dont go saying hes the magic man who made you laugh and cry and changed your life with his amazingly inspirational work!

because there are plenty of sycophants for that.

Anne Rice's real name is Howard. Why don't you do a project on her?

Also I liked Diary. It's an anagram of dairy. How can you go wrong?

If I was still in high school (and thank god I'm not), I'd mention how Lullaby originated the line "The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage" and not Panic! at the Disco, that'd be a nice fact to twist high school teenybopper's worlds upside down
