What is your favourite book and why?


Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahnuik.
Chuck Palahnuik is my favorite author.
I quote his books all the time.
I like books that catch your attention and make you question things.

"…no matter how much you think you love somebody, you’ll step back when the pool of their blood edges up too close"

"Hysteria is impossible without an audience."

"When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?"

"Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I’ve ever known."

"Game shows are designed to make us feel better about the random, useless facts that are all we have left of our education."

"If I can’t be beautiful, I want to be invisible."

"Your past is just a story. And once you realize this it has no power over you. -adapted"

"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."

"It happens fast for some people and slow for some, accidents or gravity, but we all end up mutilated."

"It's not living alone if you keep a rifle under the bed."

"The best way is not to fight it, just go. Don't be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger."

"The most boring thing in the entire world is nudity. The second most boring thing is honesty."

"The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person."

"The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend."

"When nobody will look at you, you can stare a hole in them. Picking out all the little details you'd never stare long enough to get if she'd ever just return your gaze, this, this is your revenge."

"When you don't share your problems, you resent hearing the problems of other people."

"When you understand that what you're telling is just a story. It isn't happening anymore. When you realize the story you're telling is just words, when you can just crumble it up and throw your past in the trashcan, then we'll figure out who you're going to be."

"Why is it you feel like a dope if you laugh alone, but that's usually how you end up crying?"

"You can't base your life on the past or the present. You have to tell me about your future."

"Your birth is a mistake you'll spend your whole life trying to correct."
