I'd love to know which book you think is the best to read first.

I've read almost all of them and a friend of mine would love to get into them. Which one do you think she should start with?

Thanks. =]

Don't read books, that's for geeks, go and get a life, don't end up like us.

if she HASN"T seen the movie then get her Fight Club first. If she HAS seen the movie get Survivor first. That way she'll have two different tastes from chuck to compare and decide how to feel about them instead of just the same book/movie combo.

I suggest starting her out with his short story Guts. That's the first of Chuck's work that I read and now I love his work!

Ehhh, packing his best story in first is like watching the pilot of a show. As amazing as it is, you know its the best it will ever be.
