13 Best Chuck Palahniuk Books (2022 Updated)

I ordered a first edition. I got a first edition book, but the cover was from another edition. I’m upset with this the most, cause when the description said first edition, I expected everything to be first edition, the cover of the book included.

The pages looked like they were cut incorrectly and that they were binded wrong (I’m really not sure if it’s supposed to be like that or not). I just feel like I got one of the rejects.

This book is amazing! It is spectacular! This 1st edition is even more! It’s how the author originally wrote it. The publisher told the author to change the formulas on how to make a bomb and what not.

So, it is not really original, the one in your local bookstore and amazon. But this is the REAL thing!.

I have watched the Fight Club movie several times and recently decided to buy the book. After reading the book, i compared the two. You would be suprised how many little details the book has that are actually in the movie.

Some things are different in the book; how he meets tyler, spends more time with marla, doesnt fight himself at the end, and a couple other things i wont spoil. All in all, the book is very impressive.

If you liked the movie, you will like the book.

I really enjoyed this book. It was quick and easy to read but the characters were developed enough to give you insight into their heads. I found the main character very unlikable which I enjoyed. If you like fast passed books with a hatable protagonist then this is the book for you.

This book is full of satire and outrage! It has me laughing Everytime I go to read it. Although I wouldnt recommend to the ones who have a weak stomaches lol.

Maybe I’m biased having already been a fan of chuck before I had read this book, but this is honestly one of the best novels I have ever read. The way the story weaves in and out of certain characters lives is incredible and keeps your interest.

Im in love with this book, its really in good condition. but I dont understand how buy4 get 2 works, If you have some time to explain im here

Arrived quickly and in great condition. Great value for money ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can’t decide whether Palahniuk deserves a Nobel prize or a padded cell. He’s a genius, no doubt about that.

Snuff is not for everybody. Those who have never read a Palahniuk novel will probably not enjoy the story or the way it is presented while others may be drawn to the subject matter. Six hundred dudes.

One porn queen. A world record for the ages. Come on, it about porn! Palahniuk fans will certainly enjoy this short tirade that seems more like a novella than an actual novel. Snuff is Chucks shortest novel to date.

Fact. Every single letter is in brown ink! Fact. It certainly does not take away from the aesthetic feel but it may come as a surprise to some when they first begin reading though it is not immediately noticeable.

Overall, Snuff is not a bad story at all, Chuck has just put himself in a bad spot with his previous novels. He has raised the bar to such great heights with novels such as Fight Club, Haunted, and Survivor that fans may see Snuff more as something of a writing exercise, rather than a true piece of accomplished work.

Opting for a multi-character narrative, the storytelling is different from his other books. There is very little dark humor, instead, the humor in Snuff is much more apparent; not that its a bad thing, just a little different than usual.

It wouldnt be fair to completely bad mouth this book. It certainly does have its golden moments. Each character definitely breathes and acts Palahniuk but everything just seems a bit toned down. For a book about pornography, it seems pretty tame.

It still does have its gross-out moments but about of the novel is spent inside the green room. The entire experience does seem to have a life of its own and the descriptions are nicely depicted, making it easy for readers to picture the room.

There is a great deal of suspense during each narrative and though the chapter titles claim that a different character is narrating, it doesnt always feel unique to the specific character. Sure, one may repeatedly use the word dude and another may repeatedly be carrying a stuffed animal but thought-process-wise, they all think alike.

Every single character in the book seems to be a walking trivia machine and though that may be synonymous to Palahniuks style, it just detracts from the authenticity of the story. The shortness of Snuff also seems to alienate us from any of the four main characters.

Though we do spend a lot of time in the green room with each character, it just doesnt last long enough for us to feel attached to any of them. There are a few plot twists but they are all mildly predictable.

Anyone who has seen a soap opera in the past month or watched an episode of Family Matters will know what to expect on the next page. The ending is a bit unexpected and true to Palahniuks signature style but it also feels a little far-fetched.

Then again, this is only a book and not real life. Some stuff needs to be far from the truth; nobody wants to read about the mundane reality of life. Palahniuk claims to have already completed the first draft for his next novel Pygmy so Snuff can arguably be passed off as something to tide us over for the wait.

Though it is short, somewhat predictable at spots, and a bit tame for what it is depicting; it is full of humor, wonderful trivia, plot twists, and memorable quotes. This book may not win any awards but it certainly will be mentioned in the years to come and you will be glad to have read it.

Not Chuck’s best book by any means IMO. I haven’t read all of his works yet but in order of what I’ve read so far I’d go with: Survivor Choke Fight Club Haunted Rant Damned Snuff The hardback book has large print and the book is a quick book to read.

There is talk of a film based upon the book with Daryl Hannah as the lead former retired porn star!.

Chuck is nuts. Everyone who reads his books is well aware of that. Thank heavens he’s able to transfer his insanity to paper. This book is so out there that I don’t think anyone but he would have the guts to write it.

You really have no idea what’s going to happen next, although you suspect all kinds of things. Most of what you suspect turns out to be something else. Chuck is great at that. The book reads fast and you’ll enjoy every word, especially if you hate people the way Chuck (seems to) and like to see them cut down to the primitive and disgusting root of “humanity.

” You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe. You’ll say, ‘that’s not possible,’ and follow it up with, ‘is it?’ You’ll find yourself looking up ‘facts’ on the web. and you’ll be surprised. Crazy book. Can’t wait for the movie.

Chuck Yeager tells his whole incredible life story with the same “wide-open, full throttle” approach that has marked his astonishing career. What it was really to be in dogfights over Nazi Europe. How after being shot over occupied France, he somehow managed to escape.

The amazing behind-the-scenes story of smashing the sound barrier despite a lot of troubles. The entire story in Yeager’s own words, and in wonderful insights from his wife and those friends and colleagues who have known him best.

It is the personal and public story of a man who settled for nothing less than excellence, a one-of-a-kind portrait of a true hero.

I have read this book several times since its release, and have given it as a gift often. The great memories of his life,written in such a unique format, make for one of the most entertaining reads. Each chapter is written in the first person, alternating between Chuck and his wife, Glynnis.

Their memories of the early days of the space program, focusing mostly on the initial experimental aircraft flown by an elite group of test pilots. They risked their lives on a daily basis, and then at night let loose and partied hard at a local desert watering hole owned by the infamous elderly woman known as Poncho.

Laugh out loud memories. This book is worth reading for any age, from high school on. The story of Chuck breaking the sound barrier in his own words alone is worth the read.

The book is very engaging and tells the honest story of a great American. Yeager’s commitment and courage make for inspirational reading. Anyone interested in American military history, especially pertaining to fighter aircraft, would enjoy this book.

It’s very hard for me to say what the best Chuck Palahniuk novel is, but one on my list would have to be ‘Lullaby’. I read this book almost a year ago,(I read it in late fall) and went through it in a day and a half.

(Much like when I read Stephen King’s Carrie this summer as well) Lullaby is a funny, dark tale about a journalist who is investigating in a series of infant death syndrome. All of the cases he is involved in, has only one possible clue.

A rented out library book with poems and nursery rhymes from around the world, and they’re all on the same page with a culling song that puts the sick or old to death. It turns his world upside down after he reads it to his editor, and his editor turns up dead the day after it was read to him.

That’s a bit of the story there to get you interested. It’s really entertaining, well written, and catching. If you’ve read or seen the film ‘Fight Club’ and love it, then you should pick this book up.

(and Chuck’s other novels) This one is one of my personal favorites, but again it’s hard for me to say what my favorite Chuck Palahniuk novel is. (They are all wonderful tales) I think you’ll be entertained after reading one of Chuck’s novels.

I had never read anything by Chuck prior to reading Lullaby, so I went in without prejudice. I enjoyed the story and havent read one like it so far, but some parts were left a bit unfinished and felt a little long winded in some areas.

I’d have to read it once more to fully appreciate it.

This is the first book I have read by this author, and I must say, I was not disappointed in the least. It is the story of a man who has lost his entire reason for living, and how he copes in a very strange world.

The man discovers a series of deaths related to the loss of his family and how an old African “culling” song seems to make people die at the recitation of the song. This book was hard to put down because I wanted to know who was going to die next.

It is not a mystery, but it will have you cocking your head to one side in amazement. You will either love this book or hate it, I don’t think there is an in between. I am already reading another book by Mr.

Palahniuk (Haunted) and it is even wilder!! Love this author!! I thought Stephen King and Joe R. Lansdale were vivid and on the weird side, butI think this guy has got them both beat.

I have been listening to SYSK for the last 2 or 3 years and I’m hooked. I found out about the book and had to have it. I enjoy whipping out my random knowledge and this book is good for it, with pictures, diagrams, and even an index that will refer you to a particular podcast episode in reference to certain parts of the chapters.

Definitely worth the money! A perfect coffee table or bathroom book!.

Although I haven’t thoroughly read this as yet, I’ve flipped through it and it looks very interesting. Tidbits of things you never knew. Great gift for the person who already has everything or for whom you have no idea what to get.

Josh & Chuck are both hilarious and very good at helping you to understand the random topics throughout their book. I highly recommend their podcast too because SYSK is excellent!

This book is bound together with poems and stories told by the characters with very interesting tales. Some the stories in the book are very very chilling. Chuck doesn’t disappoint and tells a very great story with Haunted.

This book immediately starts off with a huge bang that’s unforgettable and will stay in mind for weeks. Chuck will further change your perception on life, struggles, and reality.

This book has three stories and they are great. I Love the haunted stories books. I am Thankful Zulily has these books at a lower cost so I can buy more. Zulily makes me happy when they have books on their website.

So I can see what new books they got on their website.

Nothing more poignantly describes the tone and atmosphere of Chuck’s novel than “haunted. ” 23 disturbing and intriguing tales of blood, guts, human body fluid and the most repulsive thing of all. people.

This book will disgust you repulse you, but also redeem you. It is humorous and taxing and a fabulous read.

The book is like new so excellent value. Will be passed on to my lads to read. I’ve seen Fight Club the film many times and it’s possibly my favourite movie. The book is so close to the screenplay that it’s spooky at times (considering the book came first).

I can’t help picturing Norton, Pitt and Bonham-Carter as the characters in the book. The casting for the film was absolute genius. Start you own Project Mayhem. Remember, it’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything, and, don’t ask any questions.

“You met me at a very strange time in my life. “.

I’ve seen the film so i was curious to read the book as often there are parts that are not in the movie for various reasons. It’s a pretty good read and you will find yourself picturing actors Brad and Ed as well as the other characters interacting as you read.

Could i say more, no because the first rule of Fightclub is you do not talk about Fightclub.

I wanted to read Fight Club for a while, and I was so glad to find it at such a reasonable and cheap price here. The condition of the book was great, the front cover had a crease running through it, but a little wear and tear is expected with well-loved books.

Otherwise it was top-notch. The content was as a good as I’d expected, a great book to read if you’re already a fan of the movie, or even if you’re not! Chuck Palahniuk’s writing style is certainly different, but it added to the feel and atmosphere of the story.

It’s not a very thick book, one of the thinner ones I own, but quality over quantity always.

I absolutely love Chuck Liddell as a figher (nice on the eyes too), and wanted his and Matt Hughes’ book for my bday. My husband and I were going on a road trip near the same time so I got both to read.

I read Chuck’s first, and it was awesome – nonstop- I didn’t want to put it down. I ended up reading most of it to my husband (also an MMA fan) as he drove because I was just fascinated with most of what it said.

It told all I wanted to know about his childhood, his fighting, behind the scenes of the UFC, everything. It was EXTREMELY WELL WRITTEN. Then I read Matt’s book and it made Chuck’s all that much better (or Matt’s all that much worse), Matt should have used Chuck’s writer! Anyway, get Chuck’s book, but have the time to read it cover to cover because you won’t want to put it down!.

The book wasn’t bad. It was much better than Matt Hughes book. Lightyears better. He talks about his childhood and then spend most of the time talking about each individual fight and the preparation.

He can be repetitive at times but overall this was a good effort. I would recomend it to any MMA fan. -steelr7.

Once you start reading you just seem to be drawn in. Very well written with short chapters. It’s an easy read and gives inspiration and insights into his training as well.

Snoopy and the Peanuts gang have become part of so many holiday traditions. This large-format hard cover book with bright illustrations is a great way to share the classic stories with children. Snuggle up and read this to your favorite child!.

Love love this book did I say I love it because I do! All the holiday in one book! I love the peanuts! You can’t go wrong! Can’t wait to share with my grandchildren! Highly recommend!

This is a very funny and touching book about a girl who was literally a “mess. ” She did, however, want to have friends. Eventually, she became a “clean” princess so that she could have friends, and she was much happier.

The child that I read this book to absolutely loved this book. It encouraged her to brush her hair!.

It is so real to life. I read it to my grand daughter who doesn’t like her mommy to comb her hair too much. She loved it. It teaches such good lessons in clever, subtle ways. She and my grandson were fascinated by the story and they were enamored by the illustrations!.

I am wanting to be unsubscribe. I don’t appreciate this heavy marketing. The woof-woof reply is intended to be cute, but felt disrespectful as a response to my concern.

i discovered this book about fifteen years ago and it changed my life. At the time i was just a casual Sunday Christian, but “the 24-hour book” changed my whole outlook. Chuck Missler takes what i thought was just a collection of divinely inspired books and turns them into “an integrated message system from an extraterrestrial source”.

Don’t worry; the book is not as new-agey as that phrase sounded, but the phrase is literally accurate. Missler ties everything together, Old Testament to New, and everything makes a single story. If you are wanting a big-picture view of the Bible, this is the study book for you.

Highly recommended.

If you really want to know your Bible and see the ‘scarlet thread’ as Dr. Missler calls it that weaves the Old & New Testament of Jesus Christ together than this is the book for you. I have handed out many copies of this book to friends and no one has been disappointed, in fact, almost every page amazes.

For example, when the Jewish people wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, they did so in the shape of a cross. The four standards the twelve tribes rallied around were the lion, ox, man, and eagle which are not only the four faces of the cherubim but also representative of the four Gospels portrayal of Jesus.

Matthew (Lion of Judah), Mark (ox-suffering servant), Luke (son of Man), John (eagle-Son of God). This is just a couple of examples of what this book contains. Plus it works for everybody from the most stubborn skeptic to the beginner Christian to the mature Christian.

It’s a great guide for group or home Bible study. Or take this book, let it fall open in your lap, and welcome to the supernatural truth of Jesus the Messiah courtesy of Dr. Chuck Missler. If you buy one study guide I pray it will be this one.
