Response 7/27

I personally have an issue with comprehending certain literature that is assigned to me. Reading a book with an ongoing plot is a challenge at times depending on how intrigued I may be. In Stanger than Fiction, I found that reading individual stories had its good and bad points, because it was easier reading short stories, but then it difficult remembering different situations that occurred in Demolition and what occurred in Where the Meat is. Maybe if the narrator was someone other than the author, I would have a different outlook in reading Stranger than Fiction.
Chuck Palahniuk has too many opinions and perceptions to keep in mind, because he tends to express his deep thoughts in one chapter and then tends disappoint me in another. For example, “Controlling the story of your past—recording and exhausting it—that skill might allow us to move into the future and write that story.” This would be a quote that I would take directly from Palahniuk and take into reference. Where a quote like, “Self-obsessed lives where every event is reduced to words and camera angles” only confuses me.
