Loved this, my next chuck book is...
OK so I just finished Choke and loved it. The style was great and it was just insane. I loved how out there and incredible this book is. I have now read Haunted, Survivor, Rant, and Choke in that order (read em all during the summer, I spent much of late nights reading rather than stupidly wasting my time watching tv or surfing the web, it felt great doing something). And after reading the last 3 I have to say I now dont like haunted. Im glad i liked it when i read it or I may have never continued reading. Out of the last 3 I dont know which I like the most but I would maybe have to go with Rant, the twist is insane thats all. Im looking into getting another chuck book.
I was thinking Lullaby or Invisible monsters since they sound like the best left. WHat should i go with? Also I really like Dermaphoria by Craig Clevenger which I dont remember who suggested it but it was from one of these forums, maybe the survivor board Im not sure but thank you. So if theres any other books by other writers that somewhat resemble chucks style and/or messages in his books i would gladly consider any of those. So with that please get back to me. I appreciate it
Check out Will Christopher Baer while you are at it, the first in the series is Kiss Me Judas.
Wow is your name really Durden, how appropriate?
Dark past, bright future, living abroad, well read. You're like the reincarnation of James Dean, hopefully with better driving skills ( Tomstrong on me, best compliment I ever got! )

Hey thanks for the suggestion, I looked into Baer last night and it looked really cool. I'll pick one up. I hear a lot of Ballard mainly concerning the similarities in rant, anyone have thoughts on him?
My name isnt really durden, I just wanted to name my account after a character, and I didnt want to be tender from survivor or anyone from haunted, and I hadnt read rant but I would have been Shot Dunyan since he was a cool character.
I personally didn't care for it, but yes it is one of the top 3 most popular for the list of best Chuck books.
I LOVE BAER's WORK.
PS: Everyone here hates n00b users who name themselves after characters from Chuck's books. There was even a topic here saying that they should all leave. You've only posted 3 times so far so if I were you, I'd change your name to something less Chuckish and get yourself a cool avatar.
I don't think it's so much that people hate them, it's just that when you see someone with a name like that, they never stick around for very long. regardless of if someone makes fun of their name or not.
in the heat of burning air to watch the naked famele body is insane,
I liked choke the best i think. Survivor was really good too.
I didn't like invisible monsters but i think its just because i couldnt get behind the female lead... lol... i like to envision myself as the main character and thats a little hard.
