It's strange seeing a Choke vote somewhere in the middle. Everyone I've talked to who's read it either completely loves it, or distests it.

I love that damn book...

What's strange, though Choke is at the bottom of my list I have read it more times than any other book he's written or any other book in general for that matter, even though I've only read it 3 times.

I'm not lucky enough to have read Diary early, and I'm not reading anything at all about it, not the inside cover or reviews or anything. I like not knowing what the story's going to be about so everything's a surprise.

I finished fugitives and refugees, even though some parts were boring. But what I found in some of the boring parts I managed to push my way through, was a surprising funny sentence I would've missed if I didn't make myself read every single word. That happened a couple of times. This is why i can never not finish a book or movie, even if it's eh, because it just *might* get good.

The rest. I like them all but can't really figure out how to rank them, I just know that those two are my favourites in that order.

I'm surprised to see Survivor at the top of so many lists. Maybe this is a question for another thread, but what's the first book you'd give to a friend to introduce Chuck? Mine has been Choke. Not too hard, not too soft.

But to introduce a friend to Chuck, I'd give them Fight Club.

F & R is too hard to rank with the others. I love it because it's an insight into his life, but it's a totally different creature than the rest.

Diary is sitting by the bed, unread.

This list is subject to change depending on which way my mood swings at any given second.

First book to give a friend: really depends on the friend, prob'ly
Survivor or FC.
