Stranger Than Fiction by Chuck Palahniuk (2005, Paperback, Reprint)

Each story depicted in the book although not having relation one another, save those who are Chuck's own personal experiences, are told in a simple, almost tangible way. You feel compelled and inmersed into the whole experience of the story, even if you don't know much of the theme being addressed. I would rate Mr. Palahniuk's work as an excellent one, he even deals a very dark personal theme like his father's murder; this is a must buy.
