Stranger Than Fiction (2004)
Chuck Palahniuk
short-stories - ISBN 0385504489 
The author of "Fight Club" releases a collection of essays, it's my current work out book (excellent reading is done on stationary bike), the short self-contained stories are not too bad for the activity
The book is divided in 3 parts: "People Together" which are sorta "slice of life/journalistic" writings, it deals with subjects as obscure and diverse as castle building or demolition derby "Portraits" which is on famous people (some more famous than others), the one I read on Amy Hempel at Borders really made me want to get this book There's a weird one with Juliette Lewis and scientology, Marilyn Manson, a really boring one about a woman who trains dogs for rescue (seek death) "Personal" are a bunch of essays about the author and fame, mostly related to his most famous novel "Fight Club" Well written but content is uneven Buy from Amazon Wikipedia Google Books Related in short-stories - 2005 Haunted - 2004 Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim - 2001 Je voudrais que quelqu'un m'attende quelque part |
