Authors Like Palahniuk

So I was browsing the "official" Chuck Palahniuk web site which has a lot of good links and information on the author but is complete crap in terms of design. (It's obvious it was built by a fan and I can only hope Palahniuk didn't know what he was getting himself into by okaying the project.) Besides learning the author's last name is pronounced paul-ah-nik, I also found out that buying a t-shirt gets you a raffle ticket for a chance to win having a character in his next book named after you.

If you like Palahniuk, the web site suggests also checking out the following authors:

Steve Aylett [Slaughtermatic]
J.G. Ballard [The Atrocity Exhibition]
Albert Camus [The Stranger]
Douglas Coupland [All Families Are Psychotic]
Don DeLillo [White Noise]
Bret Easton Ellis [American Psycho]
Alex Garland [The Beach]
Amy Hempel [Reasons to Live: Stories]
Nick Hornby [High Fidelity]
Denis Johnson [Fiskadoro]
Jay McInerney [Bright Lights, Big City]
Jeff Noon [Nymphomation]
Irvine Welsh [Trainspotting]

Kirsten, my buddy at work, has also finished the book and wasn't too thrilled by a lot of things in it. I'm really looking forward to starting the discussion.

Well, I finished I.M. this weekend. And I would just like to say......No. Not yet. I'll have to hold it all in for another week. But be ready. I am really gonna unload! "Beauty is power like money is power like a gun is power." My fingers are itchin'.

Cool. I am so looking forward to letting the games begin.

I knew many people could relate to one of the messages in this story. Or at least, be disgusted by it.

Just finished it last night. Wowie. Can't wait to talk about it.
