My DH does.

That sounds sooo gay : 'My dear husband does'

Jason does. Much better!

Yeppers. I've read most of his novels, but I'm not sure if I'll read his short story collection.

I think he asked for it for Christmas and I got him 'How to Please Your Woman' instead.

Just kidding!

I'll ask him tonight.

Twobugs...I've read all his novels (i'm actually re-reading Diary right now) and I came across a short story titled 'Guts'. first of all... it totally squicked me, second of all, is that from a new collection of his?

I'm pretty sure the word 'squick' was made just for describing Palahniuk's stuff - all his stuff squicks me, but I guess that's why I read it.

As far as I know Guts is not part of his recent collection. I haven't read it, but I remember hearing about him debuting a new story at readings and how it was causing people to faint and puke. (not in that order, though)

Was it really bad?

I just laughed out loud and had to pretend I was having a coughing fit...

Liz - how many COPIES of his books do you have? Isn't that the true gauge of an author's squickiness?

only 1 of each!!

Twobugs... oh it was bad Let's put it this way, it involved a boy, some 'alone time', a pool pump and his intestines. It was really good, but it made me throw up a little in my mouth!

Um, yeah, I just found it online. I'm so incredibly squicked. But the writing was great!

I just found it. It's a collection of stories called 'Haunted', it's due in May.

More squickiness!

Throwing up in mouth = acid reflux
