Should I give this guy a chance? I read Fight Club and I enjoyed it but it definetly felt subpar to the movie. I feel like I have to read much more but everything feels too "classic", romantic and just not relatable enough for me (also have to admit I'm not a good reader, usually start to think about other shit while reading). If Palahniuk is not good, what should I read?
I'll list the very few books I've read and enjoyed:
>100 Years of Solitude
>Crime and Punishment
>Catcher in the Rhye
I'll also list a few movies I love for more reference:
>Taxi Driver
>Mulholand Drive
>Bottle Rocket
>Ikiru
>Solaris
>There Will Be Blood
>Big Lebowski

Is this bait? It's gotta be, right? I don't what's more superficial, your knowledge of literature or films.

You don't need our permission to try out a book on your own, anon. Palahniuk generally isn't considered "literary", but who cares? Most of us read pulp every now and then.

I know I don't need anyone's permission but I got a gift card for a bookstore and I want to use it to kickstart my reading habit by getting a physical copy of something I'll really enjoy. I want to try the Karamazov Brothers but think it might just end up in my shelf and I would also use all the money from the giftcard on it.

Define literary?

If you've read one Palahniuk book, you've read them all
If you still want to dive in, try Invisible Monsters or Choke

I mean, it's difficult to give you recommendations based off of 3 random books you happened to like. The obvious choice would be to continue reading the works of Marquez, Dostoevsky , and Salinger.

dont listen to these plebs. Fight Club is postmodern masterpiece
