It's strange seeing a Choke vote somewhere in the middle. Everyone I've talked to who's read it either completely loves it, or distests it.
I love that damn book...
What's strange, though Choke is at the bottom of my list I have read it more times than any other book he's written or any other book in general for that matter, even though I've only read it 3 times.

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms." Albert Einstein

I'm not lucky enough to have read Diary early, and I'm not reading anything at all about it, not the inside cover or reviews or anything. I like not knowing what the story's going to be about so everything's a surprise.
I finished fugitives and refugees, even though some parts were boring. But what I found in some of the boring parts I managed to push my way through, was a surprising funny sentence I would've missed if I didn't make myself read every single word. That happened a couple of times. This is why i can never not finish a book or movie, even if it's eh, because it just *might* get good.

The rest. I like them all but can't really figure out how to rank them, I just know that those two are my favourites in that order.
Invisible Monsters
Survivor
Lullaby
Fight Club
Choke
Diary
There are no mistakes.
i love them all equally i think. i tried to make a list but i dont seem to have a favourite or least favourite. i've not read the new ones yet though. perhaps i should've kept my first post for when i was in a more decisive mood.

I don't think Fugitives & Refugees can be compared to his novels.

I'm surprised to see Survivor at the top of so many lists. Maybe this is a question for another thread, but what's the first book you'd give to a friend to introduce Chuck? Mine has been Choke. Not too hard, not too soft.

But to introduce a friend to Chuck, I'd give them Fight Club.

F & R is too hard to rank with the others. I love it because it's an insight into his life, but it's a totally different creature than the rest.
Diary is sitting by the bed, unread.
This list is subject to change depending on which way my mood swings at any given second.
First book to give a friend: really depends on the friend, prob'ly
Survivor or FC.

New rankings:

Subject to change according to whim. I'd introduce with Choke (assuming FC to be overexposed/too much baggage with the movie, etc....)

That's what not working out looks like
Survivor- I just loved the whole death cult thing.
Choke- Chuck signed my book 'Fellow Sex Fiend'
Lullaby- 'Break some Bones'
Fugatives- I lived in pTown for 7 months and this came in handy
Fight Club- I don't know how accurate this is cause i really liked it.
Invisible Monsters- Sorry chuck but I wasn't supper crazy about this one.
Im reading Diary right now so this will be updated im sure
She had a firm handshake like that of a virgin who knew more than she should.
