Rant: an Oral Biography of Buster Casey, Palahniuk. Yes. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this, having given up on Fight Club very early in. Palahniuk is extremely skilled, and Rant has a number of interesting ideas (despite one of the fancier ones being awfully similar to a classic Zelazny creation). While there were a number of “Oh, I see what you did there” moments, none of them ever reached the level of “Oh, that’s really cool” that would have put Rant into the realm of greatness.
