Ayn Rand.

By the way, I love Chuck Palahniuk. Chuck Palahniuk is da bomb. Chuck Palahniuk is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'm naming my firstborn child Palahniuk. Chuck Palahniuk is 10 feet tall and shoots fireballs out of his arse.

if Chuck Palahnuik was half as funny and clever as he thinks he is - hell, if he was half as funny as what you just wrote about him - I'd read more. But he's not. So I don't.

Hemingway isn't overrated the way Shakespeare is.

Not to mention, I don't think by definition Palahniuk is overrated -- take a poll of every person in our country, most won't even know who he is.... Granted, perhaps in a very, very small group you can make an argument about being overrated, but, then again, you can say that about everyone (anyone is overrated ... if you only talk to their parents).

Watch out. Criticizing Chuck Palahniuk around here is sure to get one lambasted for being unable to comprehend his subtle complexities, or at least having some sort of nefarious anti-palahniukian "bias" (aren't you always "biased" about everything you like or dislike? But I digress).

Two, Four, Six, Eight! Chuck Palahniuk is [censored] great!
