Survivor

Reading for technique is hard, but I did it unknowingly last summer when I read Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk. The story is told in a series of "flashbacks" that are actually the narrator telling his story from the end to the beginning to the black box on a airplane. Because of this, the chapters are numbered starting with the highest and ending with one. I thought this was genius and I didn't even catch on to this until I was like 10 chapters in. He is just able to build upon what he writes in the style that he writes each story in.
