that was probably the part of the book I enjoyed the most. 'the weather today...' and the 'they don't teach you that in art school'-stuff. He has a great way with words. I read Survivor and loved it, have you read any of his other books?
i've read survivor, choke, and invisible monsters. how about you? my favourite out of the 4 ive read would be invisible monsters. then survivor, then choke, then diary. there's always something i find in his books that i want to add to my quotes collection. ;D
here's an example of one i saved...
"Language, she said, was just our way to explain away the wonder and the glory of the world. To deconstruct. To dismiss. She said people can't deal with how beautiful the world really is. How it can't be explained and understood." - from "Choke"
I've only read Survivor and Diary.... The plot in Survivor blew my away. I remember thinking, 'Ohh, thit is a good quote I should write this down, but it's too damn excitng I can't stop reading' Haven't decided which one to read next, right now it's leaning towards Choke...but on the other hand Invisible Monsters seems great . bah, I can't decide.
"What you don't understand, you can make mean anything" from Diary.
Have you seen the chuck palahniuk-communities here on livejournal? There's been rants about how annoying the 'usual' quotes from Fight club are on. I dare you to post something about unique snowflakes :P
