J.K. Rowling., it's all about the plot.

Symbolism can kiss my ass.
And I'd rather have eyeshadowing than foreshadowing.

Chuck Palahnuik is the only author I will claim myself a fan of. He has written Fight Club, Choke, Survivor and Lullaby. They are all incredible books, I suggest the first two above the rest.

I totally agree with your statement. If anyone has gotten me into books it has to be in favor of Chuck Palahnuik. I agree with your choicing of the top two books as well.
