Hey there, folks. I just read “Not Forever, But for Now” (or, well, portions of it). It was not for me. It was a weird mix of graphic violence and surrealism, mostly plotless, and at times maddeningly repetitive. I understand that pushing boundaries is Chuck’s thing, but his grander purpose missed me this time.

However, it’s pitched as “hilarious horror satire.” The “horror” and “satire,” I totally get. But “hilarious”? Did anyone, like, get a chuckle out of this? If so, help me understand your sense of humor? I just couldn’t find the funny.

    I read his Fight Club and Invisible Monsters, Haunted back in a day. Retrospectively, I still like Fight Club, but his other books, not so much. They just… Tire me. It’s just a bit too much “edgyness” etc.
