Diary | Chuck Palahniuk
Misty Wilmot has had it. Once a promising young artist, shes now stuck on an island ruined by tourism, drinking too much and working as a waitress in a hotel. Her husband, a contractor, is in a coma after a suicide attempt, but that doesnt stop his clients from threatening Misty with lawsuits over a series of vile messages theyve found on the walls of houses he remodeled. Suddenly, though, Misty finds her artistic talent returning as she begins a period of compulsive painting. Inspired but confused by this burst of creativity, she soon finds herself a pawn in a larger conspiracy that threatens to cost hundreds of lives. What unfolds is a dark, hilarious story from Americas most inventive nihilist, and Palahniuks most impressive work to date.

How do we carry parts of us when we go through change? Which parts do we let go, and which parts do we keep? What happens when we board up a house filled with our faults, and then need to break back in?

Former art student and day-drinking hotel worker Misty Wilmot is caught in a surreal trap. This horror story/mystery/dark comedy told in diary format by a (for most of the book) unknown narrator is both a fun read and a philosophical thinker.

1. I can't remember why exactly I hated this book so much. But I threw it down and never read another Palahniuk again.
2. Been buying lately but I prefer to bring from home.
3. Ugh, my entire middle school existance was an embarrassment.
4. Almond extract

I couldn‘t put this one down. Raw truths of being an artist and art graduate turned waitress. How life interrupts art, and the failures of love. Just 100% raw. But, then it gets weird. Really weird. And that‘s even better.

kricheal My favorite Palahniuk! 5y

Perhaps this is because I haven't read any of Palahniuk's other works, but I was amazed with this novel. A psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator, written in the form of a diary. I stayed up until 5 a.m. reading this book and it left me paranoid and anxious. A great heart-pounding read by an incredible writer.

I finally found time to read again after uploading all of my books. For that reason, reading Diary took me way too long and I never got really into the story. So I don't even know what happened - and what not - in this horror story. Picture: Our new coffee machine. I now feel like a barista.

JoeStalksBeck It's not really a horror story. It seemed more psychological and it's read in someone's else pov of someone else's past and present life all at once. It can get a bit convoluted. Have you read Rant? Or Snuff? My two favorites of his 7y
BarbaraBB You are right, it is more psychological. And the pov was really confusing, to me. Did you like it? I have Choke on my TBR shelves, but have not read anything else by him. 7y

This is a Palahniuk book I hadn't read yet, which is odd because I've read so many. I liked this one and thought the story was interesting (aren't they always), even though I had a hard time getting into at first since the diary writing style was weird at first. Overall, I would recommend!

EricQiao Love his style of writing, though I think his recent works have been lacking in plot, Diary among them. Choke remains my favorite Palahniuk. 7y
ginganinja @EricQiao This was certainly not my favorite, but I did enjoy it. I love Lullaby. That's my favorite. 7y
EricQiao Lullaby ranks second favorite for me! 🤓 7y

This book messed with my head way more than I expected it to. If you haven't read it, do yourself a favor and get on it!

Well-ReadNeck @badnorthern I really enjoyed it!! But get a hard copy -- lots of interactive mixed media content. Creepy and haunting more than pure horror. 7y

#Recommendsday I'm surprised I've not seen more Palahniuk around Litsy for Halloween. That dude is creepy AF. I read Diary when I had a fever and the flu and had some of the craziest and creepiest dreams of my life! It's pure creepy awesomeness!! 👻👻👻👻#giveascarybook

Scurvygirl I love Chuck so much it's insane... there's only a couple books I haven't read. Pygmy and Beautiful You (which I reading during the the Dewey marathon this weekend). Pygmy was a tough start but I plan to try it again. 8y

OMG! This was unbelievable! A brilliant idea to write a diary within a diary. A slow slip into madness that is quiet reminiscent of The Yellow Wallpaper. Very creepy and full of WTF moments. 4/5
