i just finished reading two of
chuck palahniuk's novels: invisible monsters and fight club. most are familiar with fight club due to the movie, but its a great read. actually both were awesome. chuck definitely has a very negative and dark outlook on society. in both novels he explores how trapped humanity is due to the unnecessary demands put on us by society. and in both novels the protagonist breaks free from the stupidity of life through some very dramatic changes. he also throws around the idea of power, and how we can resist it, and how it can be gained through unconventional ways. chuck's voice is very evident, which made it fun to read them back to back. so if you're looking for a summer read, pick them up.
