Make Something Up: Stories You Can't Unread by Chuck Palahniuk
4.0
Oh Chuck, you're so weird. I just love you.
Best Stories, in no particular order::
Inclination
How a Jew Saved Christmas
Mister Elegant
Why Aardvark Never Landed on the Moon
The Facts of Life
Cannibal
Torched
Initially, I wasn't sure how I felt about this collection. There were some moments that felt like Palahnuik was trying too hard to he weird and off putting. However, the more I read, the more I began to really get into his stories. I like to imagine they were all rolling around in a drawer somewhere, just baby ideas that had fully developed yet. But here we are, and those stories are now developed, now clearly covered with his DNA. Palahnuik once again proves what an ingenious writer he is. I would absolutely recommend this to a Palahnuik fan- it's like a sampler platter.
