Will I Get Beaten Up at a Chuck Palahniuk Reading?
I've heard tell that Palahniuk's fans are weirdo's who think "Fight Club" was a self-help book and not a satire. I see that Olsson's is presenting our boy at the Avalon on June 3; I need to check it out. I just finished a review of "Snuff" which will be out in the Star Tribune this weekend, I think
I can't believe the Palahniuk reading is $30. Sure, I can write it off as a work expense, but if Liam (alter-ego: Crazy Bookstore Guy) comes with me, he'll have to eat the cost. Maybe I can write a ticket off for him, too, seeing as conventional wisdom (or urban legends?) suggest the possibility of a mass testosterone surge.

Barnes&Noble hide Palahnuik's books behind the service counter; there's a note on the shelf for customers to ask for his book. I asked the clerk why (I guess I feared censorship) and was told that his books are regularly stolen.
