ppl should put reasons.

i love tyler b/c he's so reckless and free of so many things. course he's also a hallucination but whatev. i also love the way brad pitt does his laugh. and yes i consider tyler separately from brad pitt, although the fact that BP brought him to life doesn't hurt on the sexiness front.

no more like he thinks he has control but really his own imagined world and characters take off without him.

My favorite these days is Mona. There's a quality of her that's innocent and yet determined, focused and yet carefree.

And, based on her description in the book, she is a deadringer for my partner. Plus, when she says "Do not embaress me in front of my coven," I think it's one of the two funniest moments in Chuck's work.

That is all. Hail Hail the Kat! Smile

Shannon.

I think she's the one most like me, and I'm kind of narcisistic that way.

I don't think jack was out of control at all. I think that without him even realizing it, he was in total control. Think of the Robert Paulson bit. He was trying to tell off the space monkeys and it became a rallying chant.

It's hard for me to say who my favorite Chuck character is. I think my favorite character is probably....Chuck. Everytime one of his narrators says "we live in a world where..." or "everyone likes to think...", etc, it's the author talking. Honestly, I read Palahniuk's books more to hear his cynical thoughts and humor than for the plot and characters. They're almost secondary for me.

I would like to make my real nomination now, in the form of Mister Raymond K.K.K.K.K.K. Hessel. He's my favorite.

He's, probably, the one in all the books I relate to most.

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said, "We're all born Raymond K. Hessel. Only some of us are looking up to the Tyler." Smile Big

I'd have to say Shannon. She knew what she needed to do to make herself better, even if it meant losing everything she had. This is very FC philosophy but is almost better illustrated in IM.

Part of me wanted to say Tyler but if I'm to be honest with myself I know it's only because Brad Pitt is so hot.

Yeah, I know you're right kitty, but still, I felt that if I put tyler it would be for the wrong reason. I love Tyler regardless though. But I relate a lot more to Shannon. She's so quiet on the outside and has so much rage on the inside. And she's trying to hit bottom; in fact I think she pretty well does.

Tyler occured to me, than "Jack", but first Denny. I would say either Denny or the Narrator in FC. I really liked Denny mainly because of how he turned his whole life around and his new philosophy. I loved the building he was doing. So yea Denny, definitely, besides he seems to be a crowd favorite.
