@hortense: I like that both of the commenters were women. And when I say "like," I mean that I'm annoyed by it. Read more

What. Read more

@katekate is squared: Really? I think he's super-formulaic, or at least, repetitive. The structure of his plots is pretty much exactly the same in all his books, and he covers the same themes and uses the same devices constantly. Read more

@KittenFluff: Oh, yeah, for sure. He's fucked up. Read more

@Megan Carpentier: Well done. Read more

@N i s t h a: I've read that book twice and I've never actually read that scene. I know what happens, and that's quite enough, thank you very much. Read more

@HeatherNumber1: That's fucking funny. Read more

@EdnasEdibles: I read Haunted first, which I HATED and then read Choke. I think I like Choke the best because it was the second book I read, you know? By the time I was on the third or fourth, I was like, "Okay, I get it already!!!" Read more

@EdnasEdibles: He comes up with halfway interesting ideas, but he uses the same tropes and writing style in EVERY fucking book he writes. It's tiresome. Read more

@TruculentandUnreliable: God, I'm stupid today. "Victor forcing himself to choke for attention is cool." Yup. I have a bachelor's degree in English, folks, and that's allll I could come up with. Read more

Honestly, this is the only Palahniuk book I ever really liked. It's really funny and the concept of Victor forcing himself to choke for attention is cool. Read more

@salmon.villa: I'm a little confused, because we're talking about a man calling a group of women "vaginas" (I realize that the joke was written by a woman, but the fact is that it was presented by a man, which makes a difference). Also, the "fucking dyke" thing is not a feminist reclamation of a term, but a joke from… Read more

@Philthyist again.: This guy is even freakier. He built a tunnel into his sex warehouse. A tunnel! To a sex warehouse! Read more

I was reading about this last night. To quote my own stoned ass: "He's, like, one of those people who shouldn't have money, you know?" Read more

@braak: Oh, I believe him most of the time. Once, he was like, "Dudes actually honked at you when you were walking down the street? I didn't think guys actually did that!" Seriously??? I don't think he would pretend not to know about that. I thought that it must be nice. Read more

@braak: Fair enough. I'm going to ask the man about it tonight. Read more

@GoodMorningAngels (makes me Charlie): Well, I'll just say that I've never heard it amongst my guys friends, and I've been in groups where it could be said that I was/am "one of the guys," but of course, that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. Read more

@braak: Exactly! I mean, I listen to some stuff that I think "Whoa, that's a little close to home," but at least it's fucking funny. Read more

@braak: I've never heard a man refer to another man as a "penis." And I certainly wouldn't call a man a "penis," unless, well, he was being a dick. Read more

@BrutallyHonestBabes: Yeah, and their idea of "context" is that they actually think she is a lard-ass. Read more
