In this chapter, Palahniuk wrote about a type of party game that Peter played with Misty. The color, animal, body of water, and the white room questions intrigues my intellect and prompted me to investigate further. Does anyone know if Chuck created this game in Diary based on his knowledge of Carl Jung and psychoanaylsis? Does this game truly exist? I am truly anxious to find the answer. Does anyone know if Palahniuk made this up based on Jung's archetype theories? I am truly fascinated of how it came to fruition. If you know any information, please share.

i dont know where he got it, but he didnt make it up. i dont really consider it a game, as its not fun just something to waste time.

Diary was blah. The rest of his books = better.

I did read some of his other books. I am eager to get the answer to if this game exists. I am obsessively curious, and cannot find any research regarding it. Do you possibly know how I can go about it? Thanks.

Books suck.

In fact, everything sucks.

Except for inside jokes between members with high post counts.
