Hey..
I picked up [I]Haunted[/I] from the library a couple months ago back, I have absolutely no idea what inclined me to look into Palahniuk's work but I'm damn grateful for doing so. I finished it within two days and immediately recognized him as an author with talent to provoke thought and disturb me whilst doing so. After, I read [I]Diary[/I] and bought [I]Survivor[/I], which was forgotten about and sat on my book shelf for a month or so. Recently I was assigned a book report in English, I remembered previously mentioned abandoned Palahniuk book, I finished it a week or so ago, was led here for an explanation of the ending and decided I may as well join.
I'm a freshman, 14 years old, despite the majority of kids my age I'm not an idiot. Feel free to try and corrupt me, but I'm already rather screwed up. I also like Neil Gaiman, Kurt Vonnegut, Anthony Burgess, Augusten Burroughs, Douglas Adams, etc; I'm always open for suggestions. Currently I'm reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk, Generation X by Douglas Coupland and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
there's a vast crop of younger Cultists here and also they are not idiots either
welcome and if you got any questions don't be to shy to ask
Aw, yay, I love meeting kids my age who've read something other than the [I]Harry Potter[/I] series or girly teen novels.
Welcome, and oh god what i would give for a chance to read survivor and choke for the first time again. Great choice of authors
have you checked out the [B]Wanting Seed[/B] by Anthony Burgess yet?

although i cut em some slack as long as thats not the [i]only[/i] thing they read

Not yet, I've only read [I]A Clockwork Orange[/I] after seeing the movie (both great, the book obviously the better of the two) and I've been meaning to look into his work a bit more but haven't gotten around to it.
Dude, I'm 16. I love Harry Potter, so lay off.
Welcome! I'm glad to see a 14 who isn't an idiot.
I've read all of Chuck's stuff, and I'm still more excited for HP7 than Rant. That's just the way I am.
(I must say though, I do hate those stupid girls who always read Tamora Pierce and all those stupid Broomsticks and Bra books for "teens." Teen books suck. Harry Potter is an exception though. So, give me a break, ok?)

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Harry Potter, it's a cute series. I'm saying it bothers me that the majority of people I know haven't read, or heard of, or considered reading anything besides it.
True that.
Cute Series? We're going to need to talk about this some other time.

Adelheid is 14 isn't she? I hope you're not as bratty as her.
By the way, I had a girlfriend named Becky with whom I bought a dildo. Sweet dreams.
thanks for sharing.blackhawk tactical pants.

Uhg! You're terrible. Terribly funny!
My mother's name is Becky.
I have another friend named Becky too.
The world is full of Beckys.
Adelheid is 16 I think.

Why'd you buy your girlfriend a dildo? That's like telling her you'd rather have sex with herself than with you.

oh dear lord
just when I had the christmas spirit going for the year you got to show me that and I lose all my faith in humanity again
thanks a lot Ebeneazer !
Well, it's that kind of shit that "teen" girls are supposed to read. It is sad, isn't it?

Also, the number of queen and princess' life stories drive me mad. Like fucking Marie Antoinette. Really..
By the way; hello. You seem like a cool cat.

Adelheid is NOT a brat. She's like a little kitten. A bitey little kitten.
Hi Becky!
There is hope, but not for us.
[QUOTE=Becky;908043]Why'd you buy your girlfriend a dildo? That's like telling her you'd rather have sex with herself than with you.[/QUOTE]
So I could eat her out while she played with the dildo. Yes, at the same time. Yes, it was good for her.
She kept the dildo after we broke up. Which is good, because I wouldn't want to be caught with a dildo in my drawer.
Plus, this was at boarding school, and she was the academic dean's daughter, and the scandal would have been very very very tough to handle.

A clockwork orange is a classic, in film and literature..i didnt really like the "long lost Ending!" that my book had, without that it ended with a punch in the dick, with the "long lost Ending!" it felt too happy and yay! ish
The wanting seed is far far different though, think of the same futuristic world as a clockwork orange, but more normal characters,more standard language and some cannibalism.
Don't forget the cannibalism.

Am I included in there?
Also, welcome/bump.
Got to say a belated welcome to Becky, as my bf hails from Syracuse as well. Also, oddly, my mom graduated from SU. My fate seems inextricably tied to that city. I hear you guys have the most polluted lake in the country.
I thought that was Lake Eerie
maybe they cleaned it up by now
welcome.
i'm more than twice your age and i adore the harry potter books!
just a thought: the world of so called "young adult literature" can be just as thought provoking as any palahniuk, etc. check out francesca lia block. she kicks my ass everytime.
enjoy the boards...
Hello an Welcome Becky
You seem to have great taste in books. Lucky you reading CHOKE for the first time, its my favourite
