If you enjoy the great, indelible lines of the movie, you will most certainly enjoy this: A website called Quoteopia.com has put together a vast collection of quotes from Palahnuik. And many of them resemble the wise, sharp and insightful genius of FIGHT CLUB.
Palahniuk first submitted his novel INVISIBLE MONSTERS to publishers and was rejected for the book being "too disturbing". The writer claims he had written FIGHT CLUB with the intention to disturb publishers even more -- which has got the be the funniest approach for writing a novel I have ever read.
The IMDB mini-biography describes Chuck Palahniuk as
"... a low key writer who never stops writing and taking down notes to file away for future writing. Very funny, very creative and very thought provoking. His books often make you look at yourself in ways that you would never have before. Same goes for the world, he will make you notice things that you never did."
Besides FIGHT CLUB he is the writer of quite a few publications, with SURVIVOR, INVISIBLE MONSTERS, LULLABY, and his latest RANT among them. As of July 2007 a second film-adaption of his novels, CHOKE, began shooting under the helms of first-time director Clark Gregg, with a scheduled 2008 release.
If you want to know more about the writer, he runs a very insightful official website, featuring articles and news tidbits, as well as online writing workshops.
And if you dig stuff like this ...
... you can either go see a psychiatrist or check out the quotes-site.It's this way:

and i don't want to offend anyone, but i think RANT is probably his greatest novel since FIGHT CLUB. pure genius. but i think it'll take a while before someone puts it on screen. maybe if fincher starts thinking about it, we'll have a shot.

ReplyDelete...I wanna play a game.. for years u have been .Anonymous. like a GHOST in the shadows now let's see how far are you willing to go to expose and unmasked yourself... That small metal box attached to the wall has a button that will stop the crossbows concealed in the walls from firing in exactly 60 seconds... But as you can see, there are 3 padlocks locking the box tightly shut, and the 3 keys are concealed inside your own body... One in your Penis, one in your eye, and the other? That is what the metal detector is for... The choice is yours...
