good point

you see I tend to think that Bateman, Brookmyre, Hiaasen (or however you spell it I'm too ltogiylf) and Palahniuk are sort of on the same spectrum. Colin and Carl are the light end where it's a bit humour, bit mystery, bit silly, and then Christopher makes it darker but still with good humour and then you get full on weird with Chuck.
Or it might be that I just happpen to like these writers. However you should note that their first names all begin with a C.
