Am I the only one who thinks Choke (Chuck Palahniuk) was horrible?
I have read three of his novels (Invisible Monsters, Lullaby, Haunted Train and read) and I think all 3 of them were much better than the choke. I find it hard to believe that choke is considered one of his best novels, and even harder to believe I'm really enjoying Haunted (provided much of its worst with Rant and Snuff) more. The book has been a pain to read, and I'm not done yet. Invisible Monsters was by far my favorite of the 4 I've experienced. I am currently waiting for my Barnes & Noble for more copies of Fight Club. What were Choke and their views on how you feel compared to Chuck Palahniuk's other novels?
Choke was amazing, was a hilarious novel. Fight Club was also a great book, I'm sure you'll like it.
