when you’re an addict, you can go without feeling anything except drunk or stoned or hungry. still, when you compare this to other feelings, to sadness, anger, fear, worry, despair, and depression, well, an addiction no longer looks so bad. it looks like a very viable option.

Insomnia and me: Chuck Palahniuk

'Ambien helps me sleep more nights than I care to admit – although I'm uncertain about the quality of that sleep'

In Palahniuk’s book fight club the main protagonist experiences severe insomnia, in this article Palahniuk describes his own struggle with insomnia, and how this can lead to unsettling consequences. Palahniuk talks about suddenly finding household work being done; “it’s a wonder to find tedious work done, but it’s unsettling to have no memory of having performed it.”

We all know the first rule to this one. So i’ll just go ahead and review it. Fight club is a twisted book, its a gritty and messy and a toe curling level of violent book, but its also a good book, morbid curiosity was what drove me to turn the page along with wondering “What the fuck could the characters possibly do next?” Through the chaotic mentality Fight club prides itself in, I have to admit the writing style is one of its highlights, it isnt quite first or second person, but if you’ve never read a Chuck Palahniuk book, I suppose there’s no earthly way to describe it. Its a blend of these narratives along with a point of view where, what seems like random, strings of facts are thrown out at you, but believe me, you’re being told everything for a reason. Despite the unique style, I found myself re-reading pages wondering if I’d missed something, but no, thats the style, the setting shifts and teleports without warning, you find yourself re-imagining a setting in light of new information. Fight club is a good book, there are a few narrative issues I found with it, but the story itself along with the characters are unforgetable, after the hinges are blown off of a certain detail, you could re-read the entire book and find it to be complteely different experience. But to sum up, Fight club is fucked up, its morbid, its even disgusting at times, but it does the thing that books are meant to do, and thats to keep a reader turning the page.

That’s why I write, because life never works except in retrospect. You can’t control life, at least you can control your version.

I just finished reading Doomed by Chuck Palahniuk and I can safely say it took me longer to finish the sequel than it did the Damned. I really liked Damned. A friend of mine suggested it to me and I went out and bought it without evening reading what it was about. Four days later, I work eight hour shifts mind you, I was finished and looking for the sequel at Barnes and Nobles.

The sequel was good, don’t get me wrong. I liked the story and I enjoyed bits and pieces, but the overall drawl of the story detached me from Damned. Essentially, without killing the book for anyone who hasn’t read it, Doomed was a background of our main character. That background, a true Chuck Palahniuk original, was in the end tiresome and oddly placed between present information.

I hope there is another installment. Where it was left did me no feels justice. I need to know who will win in the end, because good and evil in these books doesn’t really fall into those preordained categories like one would hope.

In some ways it feels like–not a burden, but a weight gas been lifted by putting to rest a long-term project. It gives me freedom to go anywhere. I feel a lot like I did ten years ago when I started the band. I feel that same drive and inspiration, and that same disdain for the world that makes me want to do something that makes people think.

The only fear I have left is the fear of not being able to create, of not having inspiration.

I may fail, and this may not work, but at least I’m choosing to do it. It’s not something I’m doing because I’m stuck with it.
