9/52: Haunted

After reading Fight Club I tried reading something from the same author, and I must say Chuck Palahniuk is one sick and twisted individual. This is a book with horrible stories about horrible people. I've never in my adult life come across a book that I needed to put down because I was too freaked out to read. This happened with this book during the first story. And although I felt that the book somehow dipped at the end, it was still a pretty good read. I cannot tell much of it without spoiling it, but let me say that the way stories within the book are told, almost casually, it makes you feel as if you're in the bus, talking about stuff with the guy riding next to you. It feels weird, as if you're not too comfortable sharing that kind of information with a stranger, and yet it pulls you in, and you end up sharing anyway.

8/52: Brave new world

This book was an interesting read. This book was written in the late 30's, however you don't find many "futurisms" (sic) that sound too outrageous. Most of the story occurs in a not-so-distant parallel future (?), the reasons behind the divergence and the exact point at which it occurred. It also might be that this was not a sudden change, but a series of situations that shaped this fictional story, but that's another topic altogether. This book tells the story of two men, one which is the main character for the first part of the story, and then he becomes one of the second characters to a second man during the second half. It is funny how, although one is the main persona, he's written as a small man. A man so minuscule, so devoid of inner strength it almost becomes pathetic if not for the very last pages. The second protagonist, on the other hand, displays so much will that it feels as if the man is simply stubborn as a mule. Both characters have something in common though: both display a great deal of inner conflict. The story deals with how society disregards the few so it serves the many. In this book this gets exaggerated, but if you level the gauges a bit you'll be able to see the picture as it is today.
