I liked "Lullabye" too! (His name is Palahnuik, by the way).

I never really understoond all the fuss over "Fight Club" -- I liked "Choke", "Lullabye" and "Diary" all much better.

I also liked the one that starts off with the guy in the airplane....

Seed- By the Way, the reason that your title has the BB code rather than the italics that you wanted, around it, is because the BB code does not work with titles!

well that explains it... as far as Fightclub goes... i think it was the movie that got all the hype.... i never read the book cus i saw the movie first and i really liked the movie. if i see a movie and think its great and then read the book i get mad at the movie on how they screwed it up because the book is usually 10 times better then the movie... but i can read a book and watch the movie, kinda funny i know but thats me for ya

I never saw the movie "Fight Club" but I know what you mean about being upset about lousy film translations of novels. Perhaps someday I'll check it out.

From what I understand, the popularity of naming young boys Tyler is directly related to the release of that movie - which really creeps me out and makes me wonder if the movie was a very sanitized version of the book.

Palahnuik is a local boy so his books always get tons of press here in Portland. I try to read his books before I read too many reviews. Reviews tend to spoil the surprise of his plots for me - I really enjoy his off-kilter way of looking at things.
