]]> <![CDATA[Chuck Palahniuk Going Overboard With 3 Porn-Spoof Book Trailers]]> @Sheila: To quote Mr. Cass from the book trailer of the other day, "You're not the bad guy here".

They do get seen a lot, compared, say, to other ads used for books. Scott Heim's trailer for We Disappear has had over 30,000 views. What about a "best of book trailers" post?

]]> <![CDATA[Chuck Palahniuk Going Overboard With 3 Porn-Spoof Book Trailers]]> @mitchel_stevens: Exactly. And I believe these movies are actually discussed in the book.
Like, maybe some of the folks from these "trailers" are supposed to be characters from the novel itself.

]]> <![CDATA[Chuck Palahniuk Going Overboard With 3 Porn-Spoof Book Trailers]]> ...makes me think-although I have no idea yet if this is true-that the author doesn't take his character seriously.

It's true. Chuck wrote this book as part of a bet by his publisher. He is already done or nearly done with his next book, which is a more typical Palhniuk novel.

i think the book is supposedly about three guys who are involved in the gang-bang and they tell cassie's life story in "chuck inner monologue" style while waiting their turn.

that said, as long as there are no colon parts, i am there.

Nothing of value here other than finally learning how to pronounce that assholes' name.

]]> <![CDATA[Chuck Palahniuk Going Overboard With 3 Porn-Spoof Book Trailers]]> Chuck could write a novel about an under-water basket weaver with the power to change metal into stone using nothing but baby tears....and I would buy it. I love him. And I will buy his book--and I'm not that into porn.

]]> <![CDATA[Chuck Palahniuk Going Overboard With 3 Porn-Spoof Book Trailers]]> Well, it did get him two different posts on Gawker, for example.

These trailers are too long, I think.
