The only Palahniuk book I read prior to Haunted (which was OK) was Fugitives and Refugees, because I my wife and I were seriously close to moving to Portland a few years ago. I knew CP had written Fight Club, and wifey had read Geek Love by his friend Katherine Dunn and loved it, so I thought I would give one of his recent offerings a try...

anyway - I've been to Stumptown twice in the last two years and would move there in a heartbeat if there were a job waiting for me... Powell's is such a great place to spend a rainy afternoon... **** I'm rambling
