Anyone read any of Chuck Palahniuk's novels (lullaby, choke, survivor) other than fight club?

I've just finished 'Choke' which is one of the best books I've ever read, and I enjoyed it so much so that I'm actually working on adapting it for the big screen as we speak (I think another company already has the rights to it, but i'm just working on it for experience and fun)...

I highly recommend you go out and pick up some of this guy's novels, he really is a terrific writer. Fight Club is of course a masterpiece, and I've just started reading 'Survivor' which is proving to be every bit as interesting as 'Choke' was.

Anyway, anyone else read anything by him?

After I saw the movie Fight Club, I read the book and then went on to read Choke.... I can see how the book would appeal to other people but for me it just wasn't my sort of thing.

I've read Choke, Survivor, Diary, and of course Fight Club. All the books Chuck writes are amazing he is definitely a very unique writer. He has an unpublished short story that he reads at his tours called Guts. At EVERY single reading of Guts at least one person in the audience fainted. Various newspapers around the country have documented this if you don't believe me. Guts will appear in the March edition of Playboy and as well in his next book. Chuck kicks ass. Survivor is a very interesting book but when you read the ending make sure you dont take it at face value. There is MUCH more to the ending if you read closely.

Yeah i've heard about guts, and I read that the faint count is something like 27 or something ridiculous like that. I'm intrigued as to why these people are fainting at his readings, he really must be doing something special.
