By: Chuck Palahniuk (2003) – Fiction Buy it Here at Amazon.com Official Chuck Palahniuk Website Reading a Palahniuk novel is like watching a David Lynch movie written by a more literary Howard Stern: completely off the wall, usually mildly offensive and nearly impossible to dismiss.

This volume is just as funny and interesting as the previous [...]
