Aditya I am reading Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk by Chuck Palahniuk really loved the movie,it gave me my favorite fictional character of all time - Tyler Durden. I have heard it is one of those cases where movie is better than book I hope it is not so & the book turns out to be equally great.

It was just okay nowhere close to the movie.

Jessika Hoover (jessalittlebooknerd) | 64 comments I finished Everything's Eventual this morning. I just love his short stories--I think they are some of his best writing. He really knows how to pack a punch in 50 pages or so.

I had read quite a few Agatha Christie books a long time back & enjoyed most of them(have not read that one though),just wonder how they are going to hold up now since the books are much more pacier these days.

Aditya- If you enjoy Marshall's writing, you should definitely give his Straw Men trilogy a go once you're done with this one.

So far so good,I have read one-third of it & his writing style is absolutely engrossing,if this one remains this good at its end you can be sure that I will check Straw Men out.Thanks for the suggestion.

(edit)I just completed Killer Move has to be one of the best thrillers i have ever read..way better than best-selling authors like David Baldacci or Lee Child.It also has a reference to the book you mentioned.
I am going to hold off reading King for a while & check out the Straw Men trilogy asap.

Yay, I'm so very happy for you, Aditya! I really liked Marshall's writing style, as well. Like you said, it's definitely different, and possibly better, than Baldacci or Child (though I do love Child's style, too!)

I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on The Straw Men trilogy! It's been a good 6-7 years since I read them, but they're near and dear to my heart, for sure.:) I'd certainly re-read them someday, and am interested in reading more of his work. Enjoy!!

:) The Talisman's a favorite of mine! I hope you continue to enjoy it more and more.

I will start with Straw Men trilogy as soon as I can get hold of them somehow as they are not easily available in India.

Just out of curiosity what do you enjoy in Child's style??I do enjoy Baldacci but Lee Child has to be one of those rare authors I simply can not tolerate.His writing is stupid beyond belief,I have only read the first 2 of his books but they were enough to convince me to never come back to them.
