Palahniuk is definitely one of my favorite writers, uncomfortably disturbing as his can be at times (Monsters; Haunted; Lullaby). The last book I bought was Rant. Another mindbender! I noticed he has a new one out when I was in the book store the other day. Forget the name of it, but I’ll be sure to get to it soon. The only stuff I haven’t read from him are his short stories. Glad to find out we share this interest!

Hey Scott,
Thanks for including my mad video! I just had to do it, crazy. By the way, it is a great book and I am proof it works!
And another thing, I have stopped biting my nails! How great is that? I have bitten my nails for years and years - well all my life (from when I could). I have tried to stop before and only lasted a few weeks. This time it has been a couple of months and I have no inclination to start biting again.
Oh, no I can see another video coming - just a video of my nails pretending they are talking.
What do you think - shall I do another mad video?
What do your customers think - yes or no?
