List of Past Book Club Books
So to end all of the confusion of what we have read and what we haven't read - I've organized this list. These are all the books that we have discussed in the past. And they are links to the original discussions - so I encourage you to check out the books and add to the discussions.
If anybody finds any mistakes in this list or has any suggestions - feel free to post them here. Please click on all the links and check them out for me. I will be adding the books to this list after I move them to the Official Cult Book Club Forum (after the discussion is over).

Great work with that list, I'll have to peruse all those links and discover what I should be reading.

p Good list...some books I`ve read already....Coupland,Vonnegut,Joyce,Irving...etc.
but many I didn`t read and I hope I will...
I tried to find it but not everything is translated.
...It sounds cool...I will keep this list for the future
That's some list, a lot of books there i'll have to buy in the future.
the only book of ive read of these is [i]house of leaves[/i] which may seriously be the worst book ive ever read
oh, that list sucks. ive read those books. try and be more original, will ya.. ?
jeez
still, none of these threads work here as well.. ive been trying to search out quick fixes but have yet been unsuccessful. sorry. great list, though--the grunt work must've sucked..

I'm a real nice guy, loyal to his family and friends, like to help old people and I play well with children, but there is a very dark side to the moon. A predilection for the psychopathic, I have a history of violence I would like to herald always as ancient history. But some guys just wont listen, just wont let go.
many of thhis books are pretty good...I didn`t read all these books, cause it`s impossible to find in Russia...
But Joyce, Vonnegut, Murakami, Coupland are great...
Could you make you own list? It would be great

At first I thought you were being serious. I was thinking Kabol is being such a dick. What the fuck? And then I was like - he's been here long enough to know that I didn't pick all of those books. But yeah - that's why you don't let yourself get pissed until you read the whole message!
Yeah - the links took a long time to do. If I redid it now - it would take even longer because of no copy and pasting for some reason. So I think I'm going to wait. The base is there I just have to fix a few things in each link (I think) and then they will all be ready to go again...
yeah, he can recommend very good books...Thanks!!!
Now I'm really glad I joined this site because I've been struggling to find books and authors that are similar to the type of stuff I read.
Besides Palahniuk and Ellis I always have a hard time finding anyone like them.
"What you don't understand you can make mean anything."-Misty Marie Kleinmann
Awesome. Thank you for that enchanting list. I hope I can find some of those books in the local libraries.
So who's picking next months book anyway? if you don't mind me asking...
Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested.
A great list there indeed.
This is a great place for me to delve into other works outside of Chuck's. Only a few weeks ago I was scratching my head wondering what I am going to read once I finish all the Chuck's current works.
Currently trying to buy at least one or two new books a fortnight and getting them read in that time too.
I've already read a good few from that list.
I'm a tad confused to how this "book club" works. How do we know what book is the book we're supposed to read?

And don't forget, you can pick up the book club selections here http://chuckpalahniuk.net/recommended/books/book-club-selections







Great List PGoutis.
Im going to try plow through a few of this books and then read up on them.
Right now Im busy as Hell at work but in New Year I will set some time aside for the Book Club. I always think that my opinions wouldnt be strong enough but then and again I never thought I would fit in at The Cult.
