Welcome to Litsy!

A dark and twisted story with an unexpected ending.

While Palahniuk seems to only write antiheroes, the lyric "I'll stare directly at sun but never in the mirror" immediately brought Invisible Monsters to mind.

It took a while to get into, but I really liked this book.

Excited for September!

My #BookSpin is a loaner from my cousin and best friend who I haven‘t seen in several months and really miss. Finishing will give me a chance to see her.

My #DoubleSpin is a #FoodandLit selection that I should have finished in…May, I think?

Crazy plot twists in this one y‘all 👹

Book 97🎧
This was a strange one…
I almost bailed, but the last 35%, after the majority of the insane time jumps, started to get interesting (and less confusing)😵‍💫
BUT, the author did warn about the scattery-ness!
The last 1/3 and the ending saved this one for me.

Please help me if I‘m missing something! All I could think was this is like the novelization of a Quentin Tarantino movie- and that‘s not a compliment from me lol. I bailed about half way in. Am I missing something, is there a better book to start with by this author? #chuckpalahniuk #invisiblemonsters

Give me grotesque!

Give me camp!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 Despite the depravity it made me laugh quite a bit. Very campy and weird, I liked it

I‘ve never read any Chuck Palahniuk although I have a few of his on my TBR but this caught my eye today, great cover and the story sounds pretty interesting, thinking I might start it next #covercrush

Invisible Monsters follows the story of a glamorious fashion model who gets into an accident that leaves her horribly disfigured afterwards.

Invisible Monsters is signature Palahniuk, and for those of you already on his wavelength, this is a must read. If you're new to him however, this may not be the best place to start.

7/10.

@Wife - Wanna play?

Just want to share my staged photos of my all time fave authors' books that own.

“Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, I'll be anybody you want me to be. Use me. Change me. I can be thin with big breasts and big hair. Take me apart. Make me into anything, but just love me.”

I very much enjoyed this book. So many twists and turns, back and forths. Some I saw coming, some were surprises. A tough one to put down, as it was quite a ride and completely satisfied with how it played out.

Finished this and for once found myself enjoying his work instead of wishing I'd enjoyed his work.

I read five other Palahniuk novels years ago and consider myself a fan. Maybe I'm just getting too old for shocking, in-your-face, escapades such as this. It‘s full of the typical Palahniuk grossness, strangeness, absurdity, bawdiness, etc., etc. This book isn't for the young or faint of heart. Overall, it'll give this an OK rating because I do like the author's writing style and humor. I just wish it was a bit less cringeworthy at times.

And away we go! 😧

Next up. I read five of Chuck‘s novels in the early 2000s. This is the last unread one on my bookshelf.

Sometimes I choose an audiobook because of the author and other times because of the narrator. Anna Fields is a great narrator. Chuck is a great writer. Invisible Monsters is typical Palahniuk; it starts out a bit confusing, and by the time you figure out what‘s going on, the novel spirals out of control on its way to a wild finish. While it‘s not his best, it‘s still good. Overall rating: 4.01 stars

Day 5.

Yep, the whole time I was was listening to the tagged audiobook. The timeline was all over the place and everybody kept changing their name and I couldn‘t even try to keep up with who was sleeping with who. But overall, I enjoyed this. You might want to have some Dramamine on hand to deal with all the twists and turns😂

A book that has surprised me the most would have to be Invisible Monsters. It was my first Palahniuk book, and I had never read a book with SO MANY mind blowing plot twists. Not the most realistic story, but certainly an entertaining one.

@cobwebmoth #surprisedgiveaway Congrats on your followers, and thanks for the generous giveaway!

This book was definitely interesting, watching the twisted way all of the characters react to the world is definitely unique. I could have skipped this one honestly though, it just seemed a little much #bookclub #booksandbeer #whatdidijustread #bookworm

The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend.

Cool cover, weird book

Give me detached existentialist ennui.

Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.

This book was super weird. Read it a long time ago

I remember this book's ending blowing my mind. I wonder what I would think of it reading it as an adult.

Side note: Until I saw the posts for today I had no clue those were the actual lyrics for this song lol. I could never understand what he was singing. 😆

When I saw the prompt "scar tissue" my mind immediately went to this amazing book. My favorite of his. #90sinjuly #scartissue

Currently reading - Invisible Monsters 😁

This book had some really memorable #unlikeablecharacters. #aprilbookshowers

This book was very interesting. So much mystery with a side of humor. It's a fun read to change up the pace

Sort of blown away. So many twists and turns. Really I just don't know what to say, this was such a wild read. Truly. Of course in a good way. But damn, it was kind of traumatizing. Also her name is Shannon and she has a gay brother. Um, hi. That's a weird coincidence.

I love having spare time. I'm already almost done with this one, should be done by today. The twist though.... 🙈

"No matter how careful you are. There's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. there's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention"

Finally a new read.

But if you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you're talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn't work, mention the neural synapses of embryonic pigeons.

This is my pick for today's #SeptPhotoChallenge, #weirdbooks. This book is both weird and totally worth your time!

#weirdbooks #somethingforsept Some of my weirdest & most favorites. #stayweird🤑👽👌🏼
