Oh, so deep. I too remember when I first philosophized fresh out of high school.

This is so true.

DUMB. Most humans either farmed or hunted., This Gen X entitlement is stupid. Just relax for fucks sake., Live life! You will die soon!

Ironically spoken by a movie star
otakudan
I'm surprised that they made a sequel as a comic book. It was very weird and VERY meta
UnemployedKiddieProgrammer
Now we have our great wars and our great depressions. Do we enjoy it? Fuck no.
iamjackscompletelackofcompassion
Yep.
beergolem
That moment when you understand why all those great civilizations collapsed.

+1 for chuck.

I felt the movie version was much better than the book. Dunno if that was common.

I met Chuck P. Good guy.
AlternateAccountNumberOne
tyler is the bad guy. chuck is a rich bitch super-author with everything who looks down on the gullibility of our socioeconomic class.
SammyJankiss
Serious question... Is the other guys name chuck?! It's never referred to in the movie. I always thought it was jack. "I am jacks complete
SammyJankiss
Lack of surprise." (How did u come about this info?)
JalapenYoBizness
The main character has no name.

Written by an author who got paid quite well and said by a millionaire actor who was paid millions more for the role.

Indirect comment/confession: the 1st time I watched it, I teared up at the end.
emilyTA455
Is everyone supposed to really believe they'll work their dream job and be millionaires? Nothing wrong with a normal life.
SuperDramaticFusion
You haven't heard of the American Dream?

iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
I got told I could do everything cos I was so smart. Sadly nobody taught me how to work for achieving anything.I was a total wreck by age 18
explosivelyshy
I just want to be a scientist with at least a little competence. Even if it's a hobby and not a career per se.
vDorothyv
I'm a scientist
explosivelyshy
At the rate I'm going, I'll most likely be working as an educator or a librarian. Regardless I can still chase my dreams in my own small way
explosivelyshy
and still provide useful services to my community.
filedunderHforToy
I'm actually very happy with my normal life. Depends on your expectations of course.
PropainAndPropainAccesories
My dream job is a normal job where I just have a house food and money to spare for my hobbies. Low goals man it's how I keep mildly sane
thetacohippe
Upvoted only because i'm doing this monologue in my drama class
IthorianRebel
He wrote another book called "survivor" i highly recommend it if you haven't read it.
BlackoutAU
He also wrote 'Guts' - A great coming of age romance
narwhalsalesman
Survivor made me question everything and eventually led to my leaving/escaping religion. I love this book so hard.
statelessnfaithless
Former hardcore Christian turned atheist here, could totally relate to Survivor. Such a kick-ass book.
narwhalsalesman
We made it out alive! High five.
PhillyMick67
Great read...so is the haunted
BeeDoubleEwe
Haunted gave me nightmares, I loved it. And the glow in the dark cover was creepy
ConfusedAxis
Dot from the future.
RobDeKinderSmith
Choke is twisted but good as well!
twostepsfromlost
I started that book in class, during puberty! Talk about taking the zero.
dotcomaphobe
Also Lullaby and Invisible Monsters. Just go read them all.
sassycephalopod
I love invisible monsters!!! If it ever becomes a movie, I'd never see it because I would die of excitement
captiantheakwardturtle
Lullaby is going to be a movie!!

Survivor is probably my favorite of his books that I've read. So bizarre and darkly hilarious

RobertEmmet
I loved Survivor! Read it years ago. Not enough people have had the pleasure with that one
twostepsfromlost
Love the countdown chapters
tr0Jan
Thx
zombiesphere
Invisible monsters was amazing as well
PhillyMick67
Fuck yes
rhilterbrant
Snuff is fantastic as well.

All of his books are amazing. He's such a talented writer
mendrak
The only one I was a bit disappointed with was Pygmy.
CometLaHal
cool
BeeDoubleEwe
Rant is my favorite! And Fight Club 2 just came out not too long ago as a graphic novel
imseriousatlife
Also Damned. It's different for him, but still very much his style. And pretty damn great.
hippopoopamoose
Doomed is the sequel. Also a good read
imseriousatlife
Agreed!

Rant is a wild ride
robotdevil
My favorite Chuck work.
narwhalsalesman
Rant made zero sense to me until I listened to the audiobook.
sassycephalopod
Rant is a hard read when you have unmedicated ADD. I couldn't follow it.
ThatThingYoureLookingAt
Oh yeah anything oral history, how far did you get?
sassycephalopod
I read the whole thing but I honestly cannot tell you what it was about, just bits and pieces.
TheyCallMeElTopo
I feel like Palahniuk figured the whole discontent thing would blow up into revolutionary sentiment, but all we ended up getting was (1/2)
PsychoWyrm
He wasn't writing it to be profound. It's meant to sound like a cult taking advantage of the disenfranchised. Tyler Durden is the villain.
TheyCallMeElTopo
(2/2) this quote recycled again and again by people who think doing that (instead of, say, going out and doing shit) is antiestablishment
SenatorHillaryIAmStillInTheRaceClinton
He's describing what happened last Tuesday.
TheyCallMeElTopo
(3/2) or otherwise edgy/cool. Youre only unwanted if you resign yourself to whinging about how society is instead of making it work for you.
BooToast
I give this 3/2

God... such posers man *hits fag* - gotta love southpark

Well we have a battle now. Environmental devastation and preventing the return of racism
