a book to read

"survivor" by chuck palahniuk. great book. i usually wait until i finish reading a book to write a review but this one i think deserves to be read by many. for those who don't know, palahniuk wrote the novel "fight club" on which the movie is based. it was his first novel and since then he's published many more but none received the critical acclaim of his premiere work. "survivor" is about the last few living remnants of a puritanistic cult that eventually commits mass suicide. as the thousands of missionaries around the country find out about the 'deliverance' they follow suit and off themselves. ten years later, though, there are a few who never went through with suicide but also never learned todeal with life outside the commune. like "fight club," it's written in first person narrative as the protaganist recounts the recent events in his life just before what appears to be his own imminent destruction. (i'm can't say for sure because i haven't finished reading it yet.)
