that was probably the part of the book I enjoyed the most. 'the weather today...' and the 'they don't teach you that in art school'-stuff. He has a great way with words. I read Survivor and loved it, have you read any of his other books?
i've read survivor, choke, and invisible monsters. how about you? my favourite out of the 4 ive read would be invisible monsters. then survivor, then choke, then diary. there's always something i find in his books that i want to add to my quotes collection. ;D
here's an example of one i saved...
"Language, she said, was just our way to explain away the wonder and the glory of the world. To deconstruct. To dismiss. She said people can't deal with how beautiful the world really is. How it can't be explained and understood." - from "Choke"
I've only read Survivor and Diary.... The plot in Survivor blew my away. I remember thinking, 'Ohh, thit is a good quote I should write this down, but it's too damn excitng I can't stop reading' Haven't decided which one to read next, right now it's leaning towards Choke...but on the other hand Invisible Monsters seems great . bah, I can't decide.
"What you don't understand, you can make mean anything" from Diary.
Have you seen the chuck palahniuk-communities here on livejournal? There's been rants about how annoying the 'usual' quotes from Fight club are on. I dare you to post something about unique snowflakes :P
i just underline in my book or put brackets around the stuff i like. :D and then if ever i want to go back and find a quote but cant remember where exactly it was in the book (have you ever gone back looking through almost an entire book for a one sentenec quote? haha. i have), then i can just find where i underlined. much easier
( ... )
Read 'Haunted'. Out now. It's disturbing. Disturbingly good. Like most Palahniuk novels.
a nice little quote follows:
"It's not a matter of right and wrong," Mr Whittier would say. Really, there is no wrong. Not in our own minds. Our own reality. You can never set off to do the wrong thing. You can never say the wrong thing. In your own mind, you are always right. Every action you take - what you do or say or how you choose to appear - is automatically right the moment you act.
ooh, I've heard scaryassshit about 'Haunted'. I've been trying not to read behind the lj-cuts named 'spoilers for haunted' but it's hard. I actually don't now what the book is about but, only bad things come out of reading on the back of the book. I can't imagine what makes people want to throw up when they read it, but intend to find out:P
i clicked on you from sara (hellisinhello)'s journal.
and then i saw the quote so i had to say hi.
