A macabre, quirky (two adjectives closely related to Chuck's work) tale of satisfaction and beauty.

Favorite Palahniuk book, by far. Also the one I'd least likely recommend to my mother. Narrator's voice is familiar (a criticism of Chuck's work) but it really works here.

My favorite of the "horror" trilogy (Lullaby, Diary, Haunted). I started reading it at midnight and literally stayed up all night to finish it.

I was a fan of the alternative story-telling method. Palahniuk goes a little further "out there" plot-wise.

Collection of pretty much every extra-novel thing Chuck has written. Most of it is top-notch, but a couple articles (castles, wrestling) are drawn out way too long.

Another laugh-a-page from Barry. Anyone who has ever worked a day in an office needs to memorize this book.

I was hoping for something Palahn-esque. I had to force myself to finish it. Least likable protagonist EVER.

Also in my top 3. An eloquently-written, cogently-argued tirade on God and his religions. I agree with many points. Of course, as a christian (I lead worship at a church!) I disagree on a couple topics (mainly, the existence of God).

Short comment on how evolution and Christianity can co-exist. Not tightly-written, though I agree with the sentiment.

My brain hurt reading this. Polkinghorne has written a lot on physics and faith; I hope to one day actually understand half of it.

An ex-pastor and an atheist tour some notable churches. The results aren't shocking (atheists hate big productions? no way, so do christians!). The pastor's lack of good theology has him giving some lame rationale for mercy ministry (he might as well become a humanist).

You can read this in a couple hours. Nothing you've never heard before. He basically takes one lame metaphor and beats the crap out of it for 160 pages. THAT'S the barbarian way, alright.

Paul's one of my favs. Wills makes a few huge claims and definitely falls into a more progressive reading of the NT. Interesting stuff nonetheless.

Keller has the only worthwhile section of this book.

I'd read Driscoll for the humor alone. Good thing he's got some good thinking in here too.

Keller and Driscoll steal the show here. The other stuff is OK, but definitely sounds a lot like old people complaining.

Not as interesting as the title suggests, but a worthwhile read, nonetheless.

I love absolutely everything about Jim Henson. The sheer enthusiasm for life in this short book is astounding. Try to read it at least once a week.

My roommate recommended this to me. A quick, fun read.

Great story with tons of subtext.
