Someone please tell me how to pronounce....
Hey I like Chuck, I've read a some of his books (Choke, Lullabye, Invisible Mosters, Fight Club and Survivor). But I don't know how to pronouce his last name correctly. When I try to tell someone to read his work, I feel like I'm butchering his name, so I just call him Chuck, the author of Fight Club. I pronouce it Palah-new-uk??? Someone help me out with this. I'd be plenty grateful. Thanks.

It's pronounced "Paula-Nick." And next time you have a question like this, your thread would be better off in the "Author" subforum. Things can get buried so quickly in General Discussion.
There is hope, but not for us.

and for the whole granddaddy's name thing, that's cool. So, I'm assuming it's his pen name, not his real one???

no, its his real name.
His grandparent's first names were Paula and Nick, which when put together is a key to the pronounciation of his name Palahniuk (Paula-Nick).
What?
it's his real name dude, not a pen-name.

It's nothing personal and I'm not saying this to you, but I just feel compelled to say this because some asshole didn't already, also I'm almost up to post 1,000!!!!!! God what happened to my fucking pathetic life!
It's pronounced FUCK YOU!!!!
This is a really good idea.

I think the grandparents' names were a total coincidence.
And it's actually pronounced. Pal-uh-nuh-yip-yop-f'tang-f'tang-zoom-wibbit-flibba-blibba-nick.

So, then your telling me his grandparents names were Paula Palahniuk and Nick Palahniuk. I find that quite odd, or I may be a little slow (please, no references of me being slow, slick) or were they some kind of immigrants and thats where the name was formed???

I'm not sure what his grandparent's names were, but I'd say it was something different

yes, I know their names are a total coincidence.
It just works out in that way.
