By the author of Fight Club.
From the back cover: Tender Branson, the last surviving member of the Creedish Death Cult, has commandeered a Boeing 747, emptied of passengers, in order to tell his story to the plane's black box before it crashes. Brought up by the repressive cult and like all Creedish younger sons, hired out as a domestic servant, Tender finds himself suddenly famous when his fellow cult members all commit suicide. As media messiah he ascends to the very top of the freak-show heap before finally and apocalyptically spiralling out of control.

Picked this up from Fire-Dragon's pile while picnicing in Hyde Park.
One of those books where, even though I didn't like the main character, even where there were elements of the plot which were totally repellant, I was compelled to read on. Overall, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Chuck Palahniuk's writing style and his commentary on modern society. I haven't seen Fight Club, but now I feel I should at least read the book.
Will list this on BookMooch and see if anyone's interested
