I'm Erica. I suppose I'll be the 22938598th person to say that I got into Chuck Palahniuk from reading Fight Club. I've read a handful of his books, and am currently working my way through his catalog. I did just recently re-read Fight Club. I don't re-read that many books, but that one was calling to me, and it's that wonderful.

I live in Kansas and our weather has been extreme lately. 54 degrees on Monday and today I'm home from teaching with a snow day. We're all anxious to see Spring truly arrive around these parts.

I follow Chuck Palahniuk on Facebook and saw the link to the book club today, and seeing as how I had extra time this afternoon, I signed up here. Looking forward to seeing what his fans have to say on here - book related and not.

I knew you had to be a KS/MO person by the thread title. I live downtown and it's been nuts here.

Welcome!

Looks like you had thunderstorms today. We had snow - biggest flakes I've ever seen.

From age 10 on, the KC suburbs were my home. Shawnee, Lenexa...
My mom lives in KCK, so I'm back there a fair bit. I'm out in central Kansas now, about halfway between KC and Denver.

Pleased it meets with your approval. I'm no English teacher - thank God - but I was pretty sure I nailed it there.
