That's hilarious. I got Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter for my brother last Christmas. My family were doubtful he'd like it and then he loved it. Was right chuffed.

Just got 2 Palahniuk books for Christmas- Damned and Diary. I read Diary when it came out and absolutely loved it, so I'm looking forward to reading it again now that I actually own it. I'm going to start with Damned though, I'm excited to see just how bizarre it can get- I've heard good things.
I know this is a little late, but for anyone looking to start reading Chuck's books- while Fight Club is a decent choice, Survivor is brilliant.

Finished Diary. Very interesting, but not really at the top of my list. Not what I was expecting at all, though I really wasn't sure what to expect anyway. I've been making sure I know nothing about the books whatsoever before I start reading them. I read Lullaby next and really loved it. Since we just had a baby, it made me a little uncomfortable at first haha... but it ended up being one of my favorites. I've just started Snuff. I'll check out Damned and Survivor next, thanks for the recommendations.

That's pretty typical of Palahniuk in general...and sums up quite nicely why I like him so much. I love that all his stuff is so unpredictable and twisted. I'm dying to read Haunted....apparently, at a reading he did someone in the crowd actually puked when he read the first story.

Right now I am reading a book of essays on French materialist feminism. It is a lot. I was certainly aware of the notion of gender as a social construction, and even used it as the basis of my understanding about "male" and "female", but the first two authors argued that sex is also a social construction. wait, what?... I think I buy it, but it is still a lot to wrap one's head around. Just finished the third essay, which gave three ways to look at the relationship between sex and gender. I thought I had handle on the issues surrounding sex and gender, but really I have had my mind blown. I have never put this much thought into it before, and I was nearly a gender studies minor.
Before this I read the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It was a much easier read.
