Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk
This was a random re-read. I wasn't planning on reading it, but I had just finished Invisible Monsters and I just had a craving for more Palahniuk. I read it for the first time nearly three years ago, and I was pleasantly surprised to see how little I remembered. I was still very surprised at certain points, disturbed at others, and happy at the rest. There were definitely a few moments I remembered, but I thought I was remembering them incorrectly and that my memory had skewed them.
Tender Branson - who is the last remaining member of the Creedish Death Cult - has hijacked a Boeing 747, let all of the passengers off, and is dictating his life story into the 'black box' while cruising on autopilot at 39 000 feet above the Pacific Ocean. He explains how he went from being an Creedish child with dog-like obedience, to a domectic servant, to a steroid popping media messiah.
Anyway, of course I enjoyed it. I love Palahniuk. Even more so after reading this book for the second time, ...more
