Thomas Pynchon is fantastic. His work is a bit dense, especially for a beginner, but all of it is absolutely some of the smartest stuff I've seen in ages.
I saw Palahniuk read and got the impression that he's just pulp. His only goal in the reading seemed to be to gross people out. And afterwards he threw plastic limbs to the audience. I liked what I read of his before that, but now I can't take it seriously.
I read 'Fight Club' and I honestly think the film's better for the most part. Good ideas, badly written can only carry you so far.
