Just started reading it this morning. Love the dedication, you’re such a loon sometimes.

I know just how you feel. I’ve been scouring the Internet for funny blooper mpegs for the past half hour and haven’t found a damned thing yet.

Now I have to go buy a copy, dammit.
It’s been 2 years since I’ve gotten a paycheck, and I’ve adapted pretty well except I still buy a ton of books. It’s one of the consequences of living in a community of intellectual elitists: nothing I want is ever on the shelf at the library.

I was going to post something else here about Chuck’s new book “Diary” and how much I liked it and what he says about art, but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone else. (Sorry, D.)

So instead I’ll say that not only writing is about self-portraits. So is reading. Some Italian, Eco or Calvino, said a novel was a machine that generated interpretations. You can read a novel and get something out of it entirely different than what the author intended.

Diary struck me, in parts, as spiritual or at least quite deep, yet one of the jacket blurbs calls Mr. Palahniuk a “nihilist”. Go figure. Another calls him “our generation’s DeLillo” which, eh, could be. DeLillo ain’t bad neither.

If you’re also warped it evens out.

But what do you do when your mirror’s warped?
