Made me realise that my life would be very, very unhappy if I didn't cheer the fuck up and stop hating everything.

This, I know it seems like a /b/ thing to say, but I read this before I even knew of 4chan.
Completely made me hate how stupid (verb, not adj) people are that don't want to search for answers are.

Hate for Palahniuk is dumb.

I liked his books years ago when I was seventeen, I went back to them recently, and even though I think it's kind of garbage, it was still something I really liked back then when I was seventeen.

Palahniuk got me into Delillo, etc.

Hate for Palahniuk is like hate for Tarantino. You forget that they both succeeded getting you interested in other things.

I never did like Palahniuk however,
