| Chuck Palahniuk - haven't sampled "Lullaby" yet, but "Invisible Monsters", "Choke" and "Fight Club" are all total class. | |

| Having made a start on re-reading Luis De Bernieres' "The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman" and having also read "Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord", "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" and "The War of Don Emanuel's Nether Parts" I have to say that his unique style and cutting wit makes him a stand out in contemporary fiction at the moment. I must get myself a copy of "Red Dog" now that I've been paid. | |
