hi everyone!
im somewhat new here, ive had my account for a while but never really got on. I'm starting to get really into it though so I thought I'd introduce myself. Im Caroline, 16, and have read almost all of Chucks books (still need to read Rant and Haunted!)

Cake or Pie? Why?

Most important part of a sandwich bread or meat? Explain.

cake, hands down
for some reason pie has never appealed to me...maybe it has something to do with the fruit part of the pie...

for the sandwich i have to say neither...not too much of a sandwich fan

Which of these songs do you prefer? Which do you most dislike?

Well without even watching the Jamie Spears one I think i can put that on my dislike list...
The first one was pretty good though!
I more listen to Classic Rock though (Led Zeppelin, Doors, Floyd, and all that jazz) so I probably don't have the best insight Sad Hope i helped though!

Insight has little to do with preference.

boyle: did jim like ever wear a shirt ?

hey. welcome to the cult and look around and have fun. chuck is a badass, and he is a gateway drug. if you love reading, you'll burn through his collection pretty quickly, including his short stories from back in his journalism days before he was a diesel mechanic-

http://chuckpalahniuk.net/features/shorts

-and stumble on other great reads. like the road by cormac mccarthy, or clevenger's novels and will baer's trilogy. like monica drake and chelsea cain and so many others that literally bind the bookclub forum into place

oh, and howd you find the place.. ?

Oh eepy, you HAVE to read Haunted! Some people here hate it, but I think it was one of his best books. Well, it's one of my favourites anyway. Happy

Welcome, welcome!

Hi again! Thanks for the welcome! I'm already obsessing over the site

Kabol - (about jim wearing a shirt) I sure hope not! haha just joking, Im actually a big fan of his poems, not just his looks.
And I'm really looking forward to seeing what other authors people like besides Chuck, I've been having trouble finding good books lately!
I found the site just by searching "chuck palahniuk" and was really interested
hopefully I can get some advice on what to read next, I can't wait to read Hanuted after seeing a lot of people talk it up!

Wow! Thanks for all the links, I can't wait to check it all out. I'm already spending too much time on here I think haha! Love to look at all the suggestions! I'm reading Middlesex right now which is really good, a pretty big jump from Chuck but so far I'm enjoying it!

Sometimes I think my fingers are little people, especially when I draw faces on them and dress them in little matching outfits for when I make then perform old 80's hairband music videos while I bathe.
