'Fight Club' author Chuck Palahniuk visits for book tour

[alanaboswell]

he's so fucking crazy and interesting

[Slide2671]

His best works were without a doubt Fight Club, Survivor, and Choke. Lullaby was alright, and did have an interesting message. Pygmy was a fun little book and good to past the time. I haven't read Diary yet. Invisible Monsters was close to being great, but the plot got too twisted. Amazing minimalism use though. Snuff was..alright, not his best.

I hope Damned does okay. I would like to see him take some time off and focus on spending more time with a certain plot.

[vigo894]

I want to see Survivor become a movie.

[Wolfsbane909]

Chuck is awesome but his latest work...i dunno. loved Pygmy though! He nailed the chinese language!

[Raao1]

If I ever see Chuck Palahniuk I would ask him to hit me as hard as he can! For real.

[Slide2671]

@Raao1 Don't. He hates that.

And he hits hard...

[blackyblackblack505]

I stay at home and read the bible.

[CaptainPommby]

I love that sonnva bitch!

[MurphGiovanni]

this is guy seems somewhat psychotic....like many great writers

[sturmraist50]

i think he's rather shallow and pedantic.

nah, jk i like him...and peter griffin.

[pitbulllover74]

I love Chucks books, he may not be a writing genius but his style is new and refreshing and the concepts in his books are always interesting. His new book Pygmy isnt that great though

[ishpirate]

Agree. I think Pygmy's broken english makes the book almost impossible to read. But Fight Club and Diary are perfect.

[Wolfsbane909]

@ishpirate if you're Asian it isn't so hard, because i used 2 write like that. Diary was pretty cool, like reincarnation as usual Chuck has nice twist ending. I find it hard to enjoy his latest book though

[nocturnezero]

Pygmy is fucking amazing, man. And you get used to the language.

[Bigheadet]

@nocturnezero lol it was totally easy to understand cuz im chinese

[RupturedJ]

@pitbulllover74 Nah, he is a genius :)

[Tinzert]

Im meeting him tomorrow!!!!

[CuteBadger]

Frackin awesome dude... His mind is a gold mine

[Chefsunnyg]

gold mind haha

[nvlptl]

dark man

[wattapassa]

what hes done.... to lichercher.... xD

im actually slightly dissapointed, his mind talking is soo different to his mind writing.

[brokennarcissist]

Oooooooooo, pointing to the reinterpretation of archtypes, deep. Welcome to the suface wisdom of postmodernism, you can pretend to 'a writer' in front of undergrads.

Cough *hack*

[EatMyPwn]

I'm sorry, isn't your name brokennarcissist? Besides, the fact that he's talking to undergrads would probably indicate why he's elaborating on something obvious, rather than giving an all-enlightening non-pretentious seminar. Even if not, the writing's still good. He's no Vonnegut, but it's funny dark humor. Good job trying to get everyone on youtube to believe you're a unique, intelligent individual swimming against the current though. You're not better, you pretentious cunt.

[brokennarcissist]

Yawn, I supposed to take this bait?

[EatMyPwn]

No, but I accept the fact that you refuse to argue, probably on the basis that you know I'm right, as pretty satisfying.

[brokennarcissist]

I know, clearly you're awesome, thumbs up little buddy.

[EatMyPwn]

Sarcasm doesn't work when there's no point behind it, but it can act as an impenetrable defense that makes you look like a retard.

[brokennarcissist]

Yeah, I must really being coming across as an bottomless well of hatered. You nailed me kid.

[EatMyPwn]

When did I say anything about hatred?

And when did I say anything about my age, or yours?

You're losing credibility by the comment.

[brokennarcissist]

Pay attention to the subtext, look at your posts, your channel, your general attitude.... You'll put the pieces together, I wouldn't insult your intelligence by connecting the dots for you.

[EatMyPwn]

I never denied that I'M a bottomless well of hatred. But never once did I throw that accusation out at you. I know what I am, have come to terms with it, and generally don't really care.

[EatMyPwn]

What a well written and well supported argument. You really know how to get a point across, "Brokennarcissist".

[brokennarcissist]

Arguments are for passive misanthropes that need everything made completely obvious for them.

You're growing on me <3

[dunn808]

You are pissing people off.

[brokennarcissist]

Pissing off a troll and manipulating the rating system. Seems rather innocent to me.

[perksy10001]

i think it's funny how people act around celebrities ,if thats that chuck is. There just people who are good at what they do and just happen to be in the public eye, not that amazing.

[Kvaminator]

Chuck is great, but the best part of this video was the second girl interviewed, Deborah May. Deborah; you're beautiful, and should appear much more often on TV-events :)

[Mauritzz30]

Hmm.. let me guess.. you are deborah...

[RacerEckss]

Chuck sucks. His toilet humor is proof society is failing. HST would put a foot so far up his ass, he'd puke up brad pitt's cum.

[fullmetalfunk]

To me what shows society is falling apart is pathetic assholes who can do nothing for society but just put other people down, and the fact that people won't take the time to spell out "Hunter S. Thompson" and instead abreviate it like a giant douchebag.

[RacerEckss]

Riiiiight.

[fullmetalfunk]

I'm really not a bad guy. lol. Hunter S. Thompson is a great writer though.

[anonymees]

The Hubble Space Telescope sure could kick Chucks ass any day.

[DarkColossi]

hahaha

[anonymees]

damnit, they never say his name... All I want to know is how to pronounce his name...

[iluminatr462]

check out the video "chuck palahniuk on how to stop shoplifters." he says his name right at the beginning.

[anonymees]

thanks. 'chuck pala-nuck'. who woulda thought...

[Shakes81107]

Like the two first names "Paula-Nick."

[misterfisherman]

who'd win in a fight out of chuck and A.M homes? say allow her some boxing lessons beforehand to make it fair

[ichainedalice]

yeah he's pretty awesome

[ccounterclockwise]

seriously, hes so fucking amazing.

id love to like, sit down and have dinner with him.

after reading his work, i cant read any one elses.

[Mustacio]

amazing author

[Deadite369]

I would kiss that man's feet

His bare stinky little feet <3

[assblaster17]

fuck you. I want his gay ass. I wish he was gay with me. I wonder who his boyfriend was?

[Deadite369]

Wtf. Jeez.

[assblaster17]

yeah fuck you

[spunkeez]

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk is the sweetest novel ever, its sooooo raunchy that at some parts you will gag.

[123leafsRule123]

OMG that book Haunted is so gross...Chapter 2 called Guts is like the nastiest thing Ive ever read...

[spunkeez]

i gaged when hearing the descriptions of that kids small intestine getting sucked out by a swimming pool vent

[Ilisity]

love the catholic bit on the end , very ironic

[blondeonblonde1966]

lol he looks like a mr. rogers

[xdddre]

lol a little bit

[jennqueenie]

"How do you pronounce Palahniuk?

PAUL-AH-NIK (Paula Nick). The story goes that Chuck's Grandparents decided to pronounce their name as a combination on their two first names, Paula and Nick. As Chuck relates it: "So many Palahniuk's drop letters from the name. We kept all the letter's but we probably say it the worst.". The 'Old World' pronunciation is PAH-la-NYOOK" from his website. ;0

[time2eject]

Hi! Actually its pronounced 'paula-nick'.

See interview in my blog. myspace dot com timetoeject.

[Phatheading]

Pah-lah-nuk.

[SenorMADador]

[xclassflare]

[zitloaf]

[thaixnoodles]
