I've decided to reread a favorite book of mine, Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.  I first read it to make sure a student who told me he was reading it was actually reading it and not just watching the movie ;), but I got so involved in it I read it all at once, in about 5 hours, which is quick for me.  I just love what Palahniuk does with language; in fact, I've read most of his books since this one.  He's really dark, but hilarious at the same time.  Here's an excerpt:  "You wake up at JFK.... the plane leans to one side and hangs in the decision to right itself or roll.  For this moment, nothing matters.  Look up into the stars and you're gone.  Not your luggage.... Not your bad breath.... A thud, and the second wheel hits the tarmac.  The staccato of a hundred seat-belt buckles snapping open, and the single-use friend you almost died sitting next to says:  I hope you make your connection" (p. 31).  Good stuff.
