Day 35: Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk

Palahniuk’s novel is a tantalizing satirical examination of media culture, religion, celebrity icons, and suicide. It’s a fast-paced, provocative, and funny as all hell. Tender Branson –the last surviving member of the Creedish Death Cult– is dictating his life story into a black box before the airplane crashes, from his meek subservient beginnings as a Creedish child to the drug-abusing, hypocritical, collagen-bloated mass media messiah.
