And last, don't forget that Chuck's newest distinction essay this month for his Writer's Workshop has the full short story Guts in it! I don't think a lot of people realize this yet. So get the hell over to our Chuck Workshop page and start yer reading!

Some still haven't realized yet that they can find it there. [URL=http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net/fan/cw/chucksworkshop.php]Go! While you still can![/URL]

[Addendum: Guts is no longer the Essay Of The Month, and cannot be found here. It will be appearing soon in Chuck's collection of short stories called "Haunted".]

So typing it and making it downloadable is against the rules... but memorizing it, as far as I know is not! (as long as I don't write it)

a friend of mine told me that she hates reading. she says that she can read like 3 or 4 pages, but after that she says she gets bored.

guts is one of the best short stories i've ever read, and i think it would be a great story to get her into reading.

[Moderator edit: Sorry, we aren't allowed to "share" Chuck's copyrights here. The book will be available soon, you can introduce your non-reading friend to the story then unless you are able to find a copy of the Playboy beforehand. Again, sorry.]

All chuck's stuff is a page turner. Took me 2 week to read 130 pages of the hobbit cause I didn't give a fuck about it. Read 60 pages of "Survivor" in less than 24 hours. Can just breeze through it and if "Guts" doesn't get her interest, nothing will.

it's not fricken hard to find, just google it.

That said, it's not piracy if you plan on buying it anyways, and I will definately be first in line for Haunted, if that is indeed what it will be called.

It dissapeared when that month's essay did.

But I have reason to belive you might find it on the internet.

Duude, so hostile. We don't want to be hurtin' the kiddies do we? Not physically, when we can twist their minds to our purpose, leading a legion of them into battle, trained to do our bidding.
