    After I finished Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk my wife handed me Duma Key while she works on You Suck by Christopher Moore.

    I really enjoy Moore's stuff, but it's more light and funny then Chuck's stuff.

    What did you think of Fight Club? I like the story, but the book didn't read very well (to me). I think he writes like a 5th grader.

    It was a good read, nothing spectacular, but a good read. It is an easy writing style, but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say he writes like a 5th grader. He has gotten to be a better writer though, Fight Club was his first.

    Matter by I.M.Banks, SF as usual. For the above I have enjoyed C Palahniuk in the past and think that his disjointed style fits his subject matter.
    I thought it was a tampon joke!

    New Testament. Just finished Matthew and about to move on to Mark. I have never actually sat down and read a gospel from start to finish. When I can block out all the chaos and house noise- Powerful stuff!

    I've been trying to find an old copy of The Art of War around here to read, but it seems like any bookstore I go to is either out, doesn't carry it, or in a few cases have never even heard of it. I'll have to check a couple of stores back home this weekend.
