I like Brett Easton Ellis and Cormac Mccarthy a lot. I also like Chuck Palahniuk and authors similar to them. Anyone have any good books I should check out?

Yeah, Tell-all,Pygmy, and Snuff are all pretty bad. Stuff like Diary, Fight Club, and Choke are gold. So is Survivor and Invincible monster

you might like some raymond chandler books. the big sleep is really good. they are fast reads though, so pick up more than one if you want to keep reading for a while.

Transmission by Hari Kunzru.

Post Office by Charles Bukowski.

And Christopher Moore is one of my favorite authors if you are in the mood for something more comical. Lamb or A Dirty Job are probably my favorites.

I personally dont like to re-read books. and still...I believe he is looking for something new, and he wouldnt be asking us if he would just be planning to read a book again

Yeah, if you haven't watched the 1st season, the first book would be outstanding. Such a great story, I kind of wished I had read the book before I watched the TV show :(
