I am new here, so I thought I would say hello.

I don't write much these days, but I read a lot and am hoping to find new authors to read as well as like minded people.

I am an artist and I just posted in "areas of expertise" so if you are interested, check that out.

I started reading Palahniuk about... five or six years ago and I am currently reading [I]Stranger than Fiction[/I], when I finish I will have read them all, until [I]Rant[/I] comes out of course.

Some other authors I read/have read a lot of are Christopher Moore, Jeff Noon, David Sedaris, Vonnegut, Salinger, and Faulkner.

I guess thats all for now.

I actually ordered Clowngirl when I ordered Rant (there's a great discount for both on amazon.com) and I was planning on getting it ianyway.

I'll check out the others. Thanks.

And if you haven't read Christopher Moore, then you should, you will laugh your ass off.

Thanks for all of the welcomes and now you all need to go out and buy a Christopher Moore book and read it, then when you love it, read the rest of them.

I suggest [I]A Dirty Job, Lamb[/I], or [I]Island of the Sequined Love Nun[/I].

I can't say that I am.

The influence for that title was "Down for Life" by Biohazard.
The subject (a tattoo artist) has DFL tattooed on his forehead.
