What's your rankings of Chuck's books?
I went into reading Snuff thinking that I was going to hate it. I thought, during the pre-release build up, Chuck seemed to push shocking for the sake of being shocking (those awful youtube videos). But, I'm a fan, so I bought the book, read it, and surprisingly enjoyed it (Around here, i know I'm in the minority).
On that same note, Pygmy sounded brilliant before it came out and that, in my opinion, was awful. The only reason I finished that book is because Chuck wrote it.
I've mentioned a couple of times around here that I've been listening to books on CD. So far, I've listened to Fight Club and Invisible Monsters. It's amazing how much better those books are compared to his recent ones. I give him a lot of credit for trying new things and exploring different styles... but it's been a while since I've been excited/overwhelmed by his writing
Invisible Monsters is my favourite. I read a pirated copy then bought the real book when I had the chance. Only regret is that it has the paperback cover, not the 'classic' one.

What is the 'classic' one?
I have this one:

"Irina Marina is the blackest person I've never met. She also hates books. She buys them with her drug dealer money just to shoot them full of holes with her drug dealer gun." - labelleza
Neither of those are the "classic" cover, btw.

Ohh, I have the top one in paperback.
And I think Tuffy's talking about this one.
I said 'classic' as in the one people get on their skin/walls/whatever all the time. The most common image that pops to your mind when you say Invisible Monsters.
I also hate hardcovers.

Yes, the original paperback, not the trendy jump-on-the-bandwagon-get-the-girl-tattoo reissue.
There is no hardcover.

I know. I hate hardcovers in general.

I really liked snuff, I don't think it was a brilliant book with cutting edge ideas that changed my perception of life and love or anything, but my girlfriend lent it to me one day, and I just sat down and read it all in one sitting. I think its one of those stories that I feel like didn't really have a point, but it was told well, so I enjoyed hearing it, you know what I mean?
On another note, alot of y'all mentioned listening to his books, and I've never listened to a book with any amour of success, I don't know if its the readers voice or what, but I always just drift off and miss chunks, then I have to rewind it. How do you guys like audiobooks? As in should I give them another try?
I love listening to audiobooks on long car journeys. The downside is that they're expensive and you often don't get a chance to sample the audiobook reader's voice. If the person reading the book has a weird accent, I have a tendency to mentally switch off.
The key is to get them at the library and burn the tracks to your mp3 player. Easy peasy and free.

honestly, though, it is all subject to change. and usually the one i'm currently reading is my fave.
Eight eleven seven four six three one ten five two nine.
I just saw this thread and considered making this same exact joke. Instead I skimmed back a few pages, only to see that I had already done so nearly four years earlier. I like to think that I've changed considerably since 2008, but perhaps not.
Interesting. Sometimes I see posts I made a few weeks earlier and think, "Who's this asshole?"
That's funny, when I see you're posts and think the same exact thing.
Hah, just kidding. 
You typo a lot.
*you're -> your
*same -> opposite
*just kidding -> you're the best.
Ha, I always get those mixed up.
I am actually embarrassed about the your-you're. I never get that wrong.
Huh, this is hard to decide, but i'll try:
1: Choke
2: Invisible Monsters
3: Fight Club
4: Lullaby (Still reading)
5: Rant
6: Survivor
"It is not reason, more or less furnished, but will that makes the world march"
I am alone.
Haunted
Invisible Monsters
Lullaby (although I haven't finished it yet)
Fight Club
Survivor
Tell-All
Diary
Rant
Choke
Snuff
Pygmy
10. Choke
Choke was alright but man that movie was bad
Also, I would like this person to come back so that I may, to his/her face, call them a moron based upon ranking a book based upon the movie based upon the book.
"You, Sir or Madam, are a moron."
