Chuck Palahniuk-Guts
KharBevNor:
I read this story off the net maybe two years ago now. Reasonably gross, but I've read worse. For something in a similiar vein, try Iain Banks, particularly Canal, The Bridge, The Wasp Factory and Complicity. They have the advantage of also being fantastic literature worth far more than their shock value.

--- Quote from: Ghostwriter ---
--- Quote from: The Wikipedia article for Haunted ---According to Palahniuk, the first two tales came from his friends' experiences and the third he heard while shadowing sexual addiction support groups. In one of these groups, he met an extremely thin man. When Palahniuk asked him how he stayed so thin, he told him "I had a massive bowel resectioning." When Palahniuk asked what he meant, he told him the story which was the basis for the third episode in 'Guts'.

that book was wicked awesome and really really gross. I bet he's a big ole sweetheart though that would give you candy whenyou hang out with him.
Scandanavian War Machine:
I'm resurrecting this topic to talk about Chuck's new book "Rant" in lieu of starting a new topic for just one book.
Anyone else read this yet? I'm about 80% finished with it right now and i'm very impressed so far. It's done in the style of an oral biography so it's a little different than his other books but once you get past the first two chapters or so and get used to it it just gets better and better and becomes more and more Palahniuk-esque.
So, yeah, i'm not finished with it yet but so i far i love it. Anybody else?
Cartilage Head:
I would actually love to read something DIFFERENT by Palahniuk. That is a word that is not used often to decribe his work.
