re: #118 Killgore Trout

Chuck Palahniuk is this generation’s Kurt Vonnegut. Fight Club is his most popular book but Choke is well worth reading too. He’s a bit darker than Vonnegut and I suspect he has a pretty strong Zen influence. Some of his stuff can be pretty disturbing but it isn’t just about shock value. He’s one of the only modern fiction writers who actually seems to have something to say. Give him a try.

Thanks. I will. I just checked Amazon and (so proud of myself) now that I have Prime, shipping is free—so I just go to town and order books on spec. My poor local B&N has suffered a setback from all the missing business I used to give them. My problem is only WTF (when, not “what”) can I find the time to read them!
