2017 Reading Challenge discussion

Oh, that I had read some reviews before reading this! Chuck Palahniuk is one of those authors who I really want to like. Fight Club was great! Every book I've read since that one...less and less so. Maybe it is time to give up.

Beautiful You is basically about a very rich evil genius who invents incredibly addictive sex toys, that enslave women and infect them with nanobots to control their shopping habits. The main character is his ex-girlfriend who is determined to stop him.

Why did I think this might be good? I honestly don't know. But this NPR review sums up my feelings pretty well:

Do not read this book. It is lame.
