He makes fun of people being alcoholics or anything that ends with —olics. Chuck believes that anyone who calls themselves one of these is not only self-destructing, but also craving attention from the people around them. Thank you for sharing this page with a friend!

Imagine a new Dark Age. Exploration and trade routes brought the first plagues from China to Europe. With mass media, we have so many new means of transmission. What is you're punished for wanting to be like the others? What if stepping outside your life for a couple hours will harm you? I love it when genuine longing is spiking through the inherent satire in Palahniuk's novels. Not everybody could've handled such a subject the way Palahniuk does. He gives a supernatural story a ground into cold, hard reality.
He can wrap a narratives around selected themes in such a seducing way, not many writers can do that. If you're already sold to Palahniuk, throw yourself over this. In , Chuck began submitting essays to ChuckPalahniuk. These were 'How To' pieces, straight out of Chuck's personal bag of tricks, based on the tenants of minimalism he learned from Tom Spanbauer. Then, in , Chuck increased his involvement by committing to read and review a selection of fan-written stories each month.

I really did. I wanted to be part of that faction I didn't like this book. I didn't hate it. I just didn't like it. A poem lullaby that has the ability to kill people when read aloud? I thought those were called Mattie Stepanek poems. Sorry Mattie fans. I know the kid got dealt a bad card s , but seriously? Have you read his stuff?
Steven Godin. This was the first time I'd read a Palahniuk novel. It will probably be the only time too. The experience was something like grinding my body up against a human sized cheese-grater. Painful as hell. Just terrible.
