what age do you think is okay to read it? i've heard they're graphic, but what age do you think will be alright reading it? i feel i'm mature enough, but i don't know if is the type of thing my mom will confinscate and ground me for life if she catches me reading. any opininons...?

If you go back through the pages, there are one or two threads about this. and for the most part, people said that you just have to be mature. i mean, i think you should be older to an extent, b/c they are mature and graphic books, and some i don't even want to read.
but i guess it depends on the person.

yes, it is something parents might have a problem with, so i guess just talk to your mom about it.....

i know i'm not much help, but i mean, i think it depends on different things. lol

well, thanks for that help though
i really want to read them, but i suppose i can wait two years untill im sixteen. by that time i can pull the 'if im old enough to drive, im old enough to read it' card....hopefully haha

anyways, thanks for your help

No problem!

i think you cold definetly read some when you are 14. like, lullaby, diary, and probably survivor too, which is my favorite. and of course like lauren said it all deoends on you, so you might not like it, but you also might be able to handle the other ones!

yeah, Survivor wasn't that bad with dealing with taboo topics or going into too much graphic detail. and it' a good book...

psh. i'm 13 and am reading all of them. you should definately be mature enough. i wouldn't start with haunted though. it gets pretty graphic. or choke. i'm reading that now and he gets kinda graphic. my mom asked which band members fav author palahniuk was and i just said ryan and she knew exactly what i was saying. it was weird.

i guess he's an adult author and yea i even read sume of his books too and i'm like 11.

well i found him in the adult section of my library. theres many 11 year olds on here.

i just started choke too! im near page 100, and its great.

i've been trying to ration them out, since i only have two more to read, but now im reading them all since im hoping to go to one of his singings. I forgot what its like to read a book by chuck palahniuk for the first time=]

quote:

but if my mom saw me with them then that would have been a different story. i was careful about that.

lol.
i can realate.
but my 'rents don't actually care.

my mom picks them up at the library for me. i dont think she sees whats in them

oh. okay. good. I just got Lullaby and Survivor because I have a 5 hour plane ride to go on next week, and i'm not that much into extremely graphic books...so i'm glad I got the right ones.
=)
Although from reading the back of Survivor i'm not sure I want to read that while on a plane..

haha lullaby was my first cuck book!
and survivor is probably one of my favorites!

no way! lullaby was my first. then i read haunted.
