anybody read rant by chuck palahniuk? thoughts?
>>7868561
I read it. I was pretty neutral about it.
What does /lit/ think of Palahniuk in general?
Like most people I became too cool for him but I liked his stuff when I was in high school.
>>7868561
Probably my favorite by him.
>>7868561
Rant is his best.

His books are all the same. In HS I stole each book from B&N & read them while cutting class / school (usually w/a girl I had a crush on). I know, right?
Rant is his only book that transcends his schtick. Fight Club (obv) is the original, and is god damn good. It's as good as anything poster-boy Wallace wrote (maybe better) but has become so mainstream & associated w/edge that /lit/ doesn't want to associate w/it.
Anyway, Rant & Fight Club are pretty great, but see for yourself.

This is the only answer. High school is where he should stay.

Please, anon...please. You're embarrassing yourself in front of that semen demon.

Yes.

Girls don't give a fuck about books you mong.

Fight Club is a decent babby's first existentialism novel but most of what you see on /lit/ is better than it.

>existentialism
Hahaha stop, please.

It's the best of his mediocre collection. Worth a readthrough if you're looking to say "What the fuck" a few times, then laugh and move on.
