I like Fight Club. I like Chuck Palahniuk I like weird stories about slightly deranged struggling artists who are somehow connected to a ludicrous conspiracy. (I also like free books my sisters buys for me.)So, I figured I'd like Diary. And it turns out, I do. Maybe not as much as Fight Club, but that's what I get when I read Palahniuk's best work first. Anyway, Diary is about Misty Wilmot, a once talented artist who ends up working as a maid in a hotel while dealing with her comatose husband's cryptically heinous messages left inside sealed walls of homes of angry owners. Eventually she takes up painting again - but she soon figures out this sudden burst of creativity is less inspired than it is
coerced.
The plot is definitely weird. The writing is great, and I love all the art jargon and art history references used throughout the story. Overall, it's a fun read, in a twisted sort of way.
