Pygmy | Chuck Palahniuk

so-so

I know this is supposed to be satire, but it was gratuitous and, quite frankly, kinda gross. And while the writing style was certainly unique, it quickly became distracting. I think I might not be quite smart enough for this one. ðŸ¤·ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸
That said, there were some funny parts (the running joke about the missing batteries is hilarious, albeit a little vulgar), and I think I liked the ending. (CONT‘D â¬‡ï¸)â€¦

Maggie4483 My cousin loaned this to me, and I gave her Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates. After I gave her Zombie (heavily based on Jeffrey Dahmer and VERY disturbing), I worried what she would think of me for recommending it. It only took until Ch. 2 of Pygmy to realize I had nothing to worry about. We are definitely cut from the same cloth ðŸ‘¯â€â™€ï¸

Palahniuk is always darkly funny, twisted, disturbing and this particular work of satire is no different. It‘s told through dispatch reports of a teenage operative from a totalitarian state, who uses staccato broken English, yet has an expansive military/medical vocabulary. The goal? Infiltrate the US to complete an act of terrorism called Operation Havoc - all while making hilarious commentary on American life. Caution: Very adult and offensive

NikkiM5 That sounds good, stacking ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ 4y

AFrostCauseReads @NikkiM5 I highly recommend reading along to the audiobook (it‘s on Hoopla). The writing style would have been a major hurdle for me without it ðŸ˜Š 4y

NikkiM5 @Charlene1321 thanks for the heads up, I will do that 4y

I was confused until I heard an audio sample then it started to make sense. I think it takes a unique individual to appreciate this book. I liked it couldn‘t imagine the average person feeling the same way.

Classic Palahniuk â¤ï¸ once you get used to the language, it makes for a fun, very twisted, but great read

Finally got my library card ðŸ“šðŸ™ŒðŸ½ these should be fun reads â¤ï¸ðŸ’šðŸ’›

TieDyeDude Palahniuk is one of my favorite authors. It may take a little bit to adjust to the narrators voice in Pygmy, but it's a fun challenge. 7y

BlazinHoney @GoodForCirculation I love him tooâ£ï¸the world‘s he creates are fascinating. I see, well I hope I can get thru this one in a timely matter :) 7y

LiterRohde @C.Perone Thanks. This is my first time joining any of the challenges. Doing #ReadingResolutions & #QuotsyMay18 and I was hoping not to disappoint by picking low hanging fruit. Gotta strain my brain for the good ones. 7y

TheBookgeekFrau Didn‘t disappoint in the least! Don‘t strain too much otherwise the fun gets lost lol I‘m doing both those challenges, too. I love that they give me an opportunity to revisit books I haven‘t read in years. Looking forward to more of your postsðŸ˜Š 7y

The beers we got tonight, named after a song by my favorite band (an OK song). If not coffee or water, O typically drink beer while reading. Also, a stack of yellow titles!

Found while unpacking: a signed Chuck Palahniuk penguin. What does one do with such a thing?

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hang it up in the corner of the room over the bookshelf or something. 9y
