Comments on Viral Non-Porn

Pahlaniuk and literature don't belong in the same sentence unless "hack" is used as a modifier. God, how painful it is to watch my 17 year old hipster son going through his Chuck is so cool phase. I think it's almost over. It's a sad rite of passage for kids these days.

Shut up douche!!! What fascinating literary works do you read that are so above criticism? God forbid anyone publish anything that doesn't meet Bob's standards!! I bet you are one of the idiots who believes anything popular = crap. Not liking something because others do is just as bad as liking it for the same reason. Douche!!!

At least they aren't into number one best sellers written at a fourth grading level. I DESPISE JAMES PATTERSON!

Chuck Palahniuk
Snuff (DOUBLEDAY)
Reading & Book Signing
Town Hall Seattle, 1119 8th Avenue
Chuck Palahniuk is one of a kind. No one else writes like he does—and really, there aren't that many who would even try. He's been mining difficult territory in his novels, stories, and essays for years. His ninth novel concerns the porn industry, and an aging star who decides to end her career by breaking a record on camera—that of most partners in a single session. Free admission. All books will be pre-autographed. The first 150 people to purchase Snuff from University Book Store will receive a signing ticket which will allow them to meet Chuck and have their book personalized. Books and signing tickets available May 20 while supplies last. No memorabilia will be signed

Hey, Paul, I have nothing whatsoever to say about this post, but I wanted to let you know that I loved your piece about masculinity in the new issue. Great stuff!

I should really double check my posts... Oh and I was wondering if you noticed the abundance of palahniuk-esque (dark romantic stuff) lit coming from the pacific northwest. it's definitely plentiful.

chuck palahniuk is douglas coupland for mooks.

I know it's "just porn", but porn movies are subject to copyright, too. If those titles have been used for real movies, why is he stealing them again for fake ones.

Sorry fanboy but I've read 3 Chuck novels and a short story. He's not literature. He's a whopper without cheese.

McSweeney's internet had a killer Pahlaniuk parody. If I wasn't so lazy I'd hunt it down and link to it.
