"A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him."

I’ve just started to read “Invisible Monsters” by Chuck Palahniuk… I’m fascinated. Absolutely Fascinated by his style, by his way of describing the interaction between the characters and especially how Shannon (Or Joan or Daisy or…) analyses the situation she’s in and how she tells the story in a way, the reader’s not really sure who she is and what she is. Defintely a good read, I’m looking forward to find and consume other good books by Palahniuk in the future. (In English above all. I’m reading the book in my mother-tongue - German - right now… By the way, I hope my English doesn’t sound extremely bad…)
"People always think they know other people, but they don’t. Not really. I mean, maybe they know things about them, like they won’t eat doughnuts or they like action movies or whatever. But they don’t know what their friends do in their rooms alone at night or what happened to them when they were kids or if they feel fucked up and sad for not reason at all."

"There are certain emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with, but you will find the right film or the right book, and it will understand you."
