ive read probably 30% of it before and just hated it but i've been given a strategy for reading it, so we'll see i guess. i really hope i don't like this and get into the whole world of "baby finland fiction"

also it's an interesting kind of "transgression" that can be normalized into a genre

palahniuks books are full of obnoxious pretense and grandstanding and badly written, cicero's books are honest and well written. not really much if any overlap
#2957

i havent read enough of palahniuk to say that he's definitively an idiot but he never says smart things afaik; cicero in one of his books said some really smart stuff about going and reading the 'american classics' and realizing that the entire beat generation was based on their incredible post-war wealth so that was p cool. it was like sort of an obvious observation but reached through unprecedented path
