hey capricci! CHUCK PALAHNIUK ROCKS!!! i haven't read the new one though, which title, i forgot..haha. i dunno if it's just me, but although the fight club movie was cool and all, i still like the original dialogue in the book. i guess palahniuk language is not appropriate in film..haha!

hi cushball! the latest palahniuk book is called "rant", if i am not mistaken.

i agree with the dialogue change, particularly marla singer's (played by helena bonham-carter) lines. the original lines from the book were, i dunno, probably too obscene for film. heehee

I like Paulo Coelho too, read most of his works. I�ve also read the books by Malcolm Gladwell (Blink and Tipping Point) and Mitch Albom (Tuesdays with Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven and For One More Day)
