im about to finish "Haunted" by Chuck Palahniuk.  Simply amazing,    GO READ IT!!!     or any of his books actually i recommend Choke, Survivor, or of course Fight Club

Just picked up "Haunted" the other day but haven't started reading it yet.

I also read "Snuff" by Palahniuk not too long ago. Strange story, but if you like his style of writing, then go for it.

I loved everything about that movie except for the one scene when she wakes up being date raped and filmed. That's the only part of the movie that just disturbs me tot he point where I don't even want to watch it.

I've seen countless amounts of movies involving disturbing shit, but that's one of the few that bothers me immensely.

Other than that, it's probably one of my favorite movies ever - especially the George Michael "Faith" Scene.

Yeah, the movie itself has some intense moments, which sometimes seem disturbing to me too. Yet - real life has disturbing episodes too..

I guess you really have to be into zombies because I thought it was brilliant.  The funny part was how serious it was meant to be.  I've seen Max Brooks speak at conventions and he was fucking hilarious.  He took questions from the audience and acted as if he was a zombie survival expert.  I'm a diehard anything zombie fan so maybe that's why I enjoy it.  I swear I'll grab that book before anything if a real outbreak occurs lol.

awesome. i'm pretty sure i'll love it too. zombies ftw!

i'm a huge zombie fan as well. i get that that was the joke,  like i said it wasn't bad just kinda boring. altough impressive how much thought he put into every possible situation one might be in if a zombie out break where to happen.

i have World war Z but i haven't picked it up yet. its in the middle of a huge stack of books i have to read.
