somehow found the frame narrative to be more interesting than the actual short stories, which is something an anthology story has straight up never managed to do for me before! not really sure if that's really a compliment, but like,, it's something! i think i need to take a break from reading anything written by palahniuk for a few months or so, because i could handle his writing style for the 200ish pages it took for me to finish fight club, but the constant cynicism and moderate-to-severe edginess got kinda grating over the course of 400 pages. anyways almost all these people were just absolutely terrible! watching them go insane was interesting but i hope they all died in the end!
