November 23, - I think for most writer's not named Stephen King a movie adaptation of their book only enhances their careers. Palahniuk’s book and/or watch the movie The Fight Club, to be reminded just how corrupt materialism is. Many people seem to either not care about Chuck Palahniuk’s message on the corruption of materialism, or they did not fully grasp the message, as I didn’t so many years ago. Unfortunately, I don't think most people took heed to the message Mr. I think that Chuck Palahniuk is a smart and brave guy to tackle the opposition and problems with materialism, in a time where materialism was at it's highest. I bet if I were to watch Fight Club again, it would make a lot more sense than it did back then. I saw Fight Club when it first came out, when I was fourteen, and to say the least, I did not understand it. I did not know who Chuck Palahniuk was until I read this article. We can not take our possessions with us when we die, so what is the point on buying more and more useless items, especially when there are millions of people who could use the money for good, helpful things.

Word of mouth can be a very powerful advertisement tool. I would probably tell my friends about it, and some of them who may not even have heard of the person would become intrigued and maybe even become a fan. I can just imagine if I went on website and wrote a favorite author a letter, I would feel so special to get a reply back. I wonder if Chuck Palahniuk's sensitivity to his fans, has led him to have more and more fans, in fact the most fans on the internet. This shows a lot about his character, that he truly cares for all his fans, and he isn't just a writer for the fame and fortune. What is even more interesting about Chuck Palahniuk is that he reads every message his fans' write, and respond back as well. That is a cool and telling accomplishment! For instance, I did not know that he has the largest Internet fan-base of any other author. There is some interesting information in this article about Chuck Palahniuk.
