What's your rankings of Chuck's books?

RANT falls somewhere between SURVIVOR and CHOKE. Not my favourite, but certainly waaaay above Lullabye, Diary and Invisible Monstors. Your mileage may vary...

Choke
Invisible Monsters
Rant
Survivor
Fight Club
Haunted
Stranger Than Fiction
Lullaby
Diary
Fugitives and Refugees

That is a rough guess. The top 5 could be in any number really. Actually that whole list could be rearranged.

choke
survivor
rant
fight club
lullaby
diary
haunted
stf
f&r

only because i give his fiction way more credit and respect then his non - oh, and i'm actually reading IM for the first time right now, had a hard time with it first time through - it'll probably end up after diary, but i'm not sure yet - but i think all of the are 8-9/10, with only haunted falling off a bit say 7-8/10

you're reading IM now for the first time but you had a hard time with it the first time you read it???

for me. im is right up there with survivor. you just have to take that rollercoaster ride and hold on to your garments. and trust that everthing will make sense in the end. at least. that's what i did. and im a cool fucker. ive had sex with three women. one of them i had sex with twice. so i counted her twice.

My current ranking:
Survivor
Invisible Monsters
Choke
Fight Club
Lullabye
Rant
Fugitives and Refugees
[b]Edit:[/b] Haunted
Stranger than Fiction
Diary

Rant could shoot up that list in the snap of a finger if I decide there really is more to it than just what's obvious on the page, sort of like Survivor and it's ending. But I still need to go through it again with a fine tooth comb to decide

I think this is the most accurate list I have seen yet. I agree with you even though my list is different I think yours is more appropriate.

[QUOTE=nathaniel parker;974432]you're reading IM now for the first time but you had a hard time with it the first time you read it???[/QUOTE]

ok, i said that really poorly - i had a hard time with it the first time i TRIED to read it, and in fact, never finished it - i WILL finish it this time, so once it is done, it will have been the first time i've finished it

if that makes any sense

i do like it though

Choke
Invisible Monsters
Survivor
Rant
Stranger than fiction
Diary

[QUOTE=tom9d;969543]survivor
invisible monsters - wrong
choke - you are achild
fight club- serious
lullaby - you are lost
diary- is the best
haunted - 0
stranger than fiction - you have failed... we are california

im about 80-100 pages (i forget) into rant right now...im projecting it will be somewhere in my top three. probably second...possibly first or third.[/QUOTE]

I am unclear

Have not yet read Diary, and Rant's on its way in the mail.

I need to read "Lullaby" yet and "fugitives.."

Rant
Diary
Choke (Still reading might bump to 2nd or 1st)
Fight Club

I think Jason Lee as Victor and Jack Black as Denny or vis - a - versa or perhaps Ed Norton as Victor and Jack Black, or maybe Burt Reynolds as Victor and Dom Deluise ?
Is Dom Deluise still alive?
One more possibility Robert (Mutha Fuckin) Downey, and (The Return of) Rob Lowe?

They're already filming it with Sam Rockwell as Victor and some other guy as Denny.

1. Lullaby
2. Rant
3. Haunted
4. Choke
5. Diary
6. Stranger Than Fiction
7. Fight Club
8. Survivor
9. Invisible Monsters

Still have yet to read Fugitives and Refugees

Thank you, Sam Rockwell seems to me to be a solid choice.

Diary get's an F-

By F, do you mean F or did you misspell it and really mean A?

Ironman gets an F for Fucking Retard.

I'm just kidding, Ironman, I love you insanely. Psychotically, almost.

I liked Diary. What is so bad about it?

Fight Club is the only one I've read all the way through, I got to read a little bit of Diary though, and I still liked Fight Club better.

my list..

im
survivor
rant
fight club
diary
lullaby
choke
haunted

man.. has this man really published seven novels and two non ficts in approx 1 decade ? and rant, the newest, i love in third place..

cant wait for snuff around the spring..!

kabol

Aren't they all the same book?

I've only read five, I'm an infidel, I know.

1)Fight Club
2)Haunted
3)Survivor
4)Choke
5)Rant

FC and Haunted are neck and neck. I put Fight Club first because it impacted me more, even though I'd say Haunted was a better all around book.

Just to set the record straight:

Survivor is just THE best.

1. Survivor
2. Choke (me first one i read)
3. Rant
4. Lullaby
5. Fight Club
6. Haunted (Not as bad as everyone says. Chuck should make more short story collections, just without the main story to tie them all together)
7. Diary
8. Invisible Monsters (don't see why everyone loves this one so much)
9. Stranger Than Fiction (a cool little look into the real chuck palahniuk)
10. Fugatives and Refugees (I actually ended up using this book when I visited Portland)

Diary
Survivor
Fight Club
Choke
Invisible Monsters
Rant
Lullaby

I really liked Diary. I was taking an art history class when I read it and the book and the class went together amazingly.

john mcclane from die hard or from washington..

i loved diary and it's nice to see it get the attention it deserves, from time to time.

I've only read Choke, Lullaby and Fight Club, with the beginning of Diary under my belt, and so far I rank them as such:

Fight Club
Lullaby
Choke

Something about choke didn't do it for me.
(No pun intended)

hello.

mine are

1:choke

2:invisible monsters

3.diary

4.survivor

5.fight club

6.lullaby

i'm currently reading haunted and rant, then stranger than fiction will follow.

lullaby

choke

rant

diary blew!

fight club

survivor

diary

choke

haunted

fight clubs number one for me because it really did blow me away and made all of his other books possible for me. read it twice and have seen the movie probably fifteen times. maybe thats why its really the best for me...because the movie and book work so well together and make something better than just the book or just the movie.

i really like diary. haunted sucks ass. going to read rant eventually.
