Invisible Monsters. And from the reviews I read of Haunted, his books have been going downhilll. I didn't think Diary was so great, either. I thought it was a weak effort from a writer I know can be brilliant.

I've read all of Chuck Palahniuk's books and I have to say that Survivor is my favorite. The characters grow on you and you get emotionally attached. It's a fun read.

I'd have to say that "Invisible Monsters" is my favorite but i love all of his stuff too. I also really liked "Lullaby" and "Diary."

Choke: it's got sex, religion, scams and possible space aliens. It also discusses what's really important in life not just appearances and urges.. . Survivor has my favorite scene from palahniuk(it's tough to spell, I had to look it up). About how god(s) may be using us as an interstellar food source.

Fight Club. . . . Survivor & Choke were not bad but paled by comparison. Invisible Monsters was just horribly boring. Diary was just horrible. . . Fight Club. Beginning to end just a great book. . . . It is spelled: Palahniuk by the way.
