"You realize that our mistrust of the future makes it hard to give up the past. We can't give up our concept of who we were. All those adults playing archaeologist at yard sales, looking for childhood artifacts, board games, Candyland, Twister, they're terrified. Trash becomes holy relics. Mystery Date. Hula Hoops. Our way of getting nostalgic for what we just threw in the trash, it's all because we're afraid to evolve. Grow, change, lost weight, reinvent ourselves. Adapt."
~ Chuck Palahniuk
from his novel "Survivor"
He is also the author or "Fight Club". I would strongly recommend reading it - it's a bit different than the movie. In fact, I would strongly recommend reading anything this man has written. He's a genius of our time. He has a couple of novels out that I have yet to read, but I've read over half of what's he's written & been completely captivated with each book. Be forewarned - his work is not for the weak of heart. But I doubt you'd be sorry you picked up any of his books. Genius I say! As the individual who introduced me to this author once told me "Jesus has nothing on this guy."

I've only read Fight Club and Diary, but I enjoyed both of them a lot. And, yeah, they are pretty twisted! But that's what makes them so interesting and thought provoking.
I agree. He's one of my favorites...especially among modern writers.
