I just happen to have a particular fondness for his key themes. When I like something, I absorb it, practically memorize it. I saw A Scanner Darkly six times just in the theater. After a seventh, I think my assistant would have definitely quit... I definitely agree with that too. I just happen to have a particular fondness for his key themes.

I just happen to think everything he's done since has been "a variation on that theme", as Ira Glass might say.

Rachel, I totally agree about Snuff. You should definitely read Survivor, it's his best. I understand that, but luckily, I totally dig that style the way they do it.

I enjoyed it, but his style is repetitive to the point of annoyance. It's why I stopped watching Tarantino movies, too - the guy is incapable of writing in another voice, so you pretty much know what you're gonna get every time.

It was the first Chuck Palahniuk book I had ever read. I read it in 2 days...very easy read....I have to say though, you feel like you need a shower after reading it, actually you feel like you need a shower after every chapter. If you read it, let me know how you thought it was compared to his other works. It was a hard book to "like" in that there were no real likeable characters in it....except for maybe the porn star, who you just felt seriously bad for. Last night I just finished SNUFF.
