I only read a couple of them
American Psycho (loved it)
and Naked Lunch - This one is... hard. I'm not usually someone who re-reads books, but this is definitely not one I'm going to read again. Just too much. Are you familiar with "Requiem for a Dream" ? For me it's the same feeling, masterwork, but I won't be able to watch it again.
Btw, "Naked Lunch" movie is impressive in how well they managed to convey the book (of course not the entirety of it) on screen.

Haunted - Palahniuk, didn't read it, but I used to like Palahniuk.

Petrolio - PPP. I have a couple books from him (original language) they never really "got" me. I probably have to try again.

120 days of Sodom. Abovementioned PPP made a movie about it, but revisited to be set in North Italy during Italian Social Republic. Movie is great but (see above what I said about Requiem for a Dream). -- From De Sade, I started reading "Boudoir Philosophy" years ago, I had to stop every two pages because I either had to jerk off, or too disgusted.

Crash - JG Ballard. Bought it a long time ago, started reading it at least 4 times, always stopped after three pages or so, literally no idea what he's talking about.
