I JUST Want to Read Some Chuck Palahniuk!

Before I was done school this year, I made a Summer Book List and so far I have been moving through the list at a nice pace. I was a bit unrealistic by putting 30-books on the list, but I am determined to finish most of the list before the summer is out. I hit a bit of a snag while reading This Side of Paradise by F.Scott Fitzgerald. It took me longer than expected and brought the list to a halt. I have finally moved onto my next book, The Time Machine by H.G Wells and so far it's an amazing read. Although, when I went to the library yesterday, it was not my first choice for a book I wanted to get.

I was on the Peterborough Library website yesterday and I was searching through their selection. They have about 10 copies of Chuck Palahniuk novels including Snuff, Haunted: A Novel and Pygmy. Of course, there was only one in stock so I had a plan to get to the library quickly and pick up the lone copy of Snuff that lay on the crowded shelves of the Peterborough library. However, when I got to the library (after having to circle the block trying to find a parking-spot), I could not find a single trace of any Chuck Palahniuk book ever existing on the shelves. It seems that trying to FIND a Chuck Palahniuk novel this summer will turn into quite a feat in itself.

Until the time that I can get my hands on a Chuck Palahniuk novel, I will distract myself with Tom Avery's To The End of the Earth, Blindness by Jose Saramego and A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby.

I would also appreciate suggestions for other novels anyone would suggest reading.

If you are interested in anything by Chuck Palahniuk, check out your local library for their selection (perhaps its a little more extensive than my local library) and check out The Cult: The Official Chuck Palahniuk Website, which keeps you updated on everything Palahniuk.
