I'm on a Chuck Palahniuk tear. Fight Club, Choke, Stranger Than Fiction (Essays), and now Snuff. Next, after this, will be Haunted. I like his style. He wrote alot about how he puts together a book in Stranger Than Fiction, and I recognize a lot of his methods in Snuff and Choke. As an aspiring writer, this is more research than entertainment.
I tried to get into Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, but it is just TOO deliberate for me. Everyone keeps saying how amazing it is, but if I pick up that book again and something doesn't happen in the next 10 pages, I'm going to burn it.
