Share your stories - whatever they are. Never let religion, politics, shame, or any ideology prevent you from doing so...because no matter what they are they'll help someone.
I also recommend the audiobook over the physical copy, as the physical copy is missing a major part (for me). At the end the author talks about how the idea of the book came to be. He talks about understanding his father. Being a father and realizing my children maybe affected the same way he was moves me to tears each and every time I listen.
A therapist on our local tv station was with a patient that was dying,He said to the guy thank for the experience,like an objective training tool being used inspite of himself or any real empathy shown
Wish I could have a conversation with you about how impactful this odd book was for me. It helped in recognizing my own struggle and led to massive amounts of reading on covert incest.
This is one of the very few such lectures I've seen on TH-cam in which the long introduction DOES actually add to the presentation. Also, you can tell the difference between two kinds of storytellers when you hear one consistently say "bolding" and the other say "boldface"; Chuck knows which word will communicate rather than confuse.
Can someone explain to me the ending of the Knock Knock story? The joke doesn't make sense like his dads jokes didn't make sense to him right? What does it symbolize?
The guy loves his Dad even though he doesn't get the jokes, but he knows it makes his Dad feel better. So when his Dad is dying, he thinks that Daddy jokes would heal him and prevent from dying
@@YungToyBreaker I think the father realizes he’s turned his son what he is, a man so detached from seriousness that it alienates the people closest to him, like the father with his wife. The father on his deathbed realizes this tragic truth while his son is completely oblivious, making him burst into tears. At least that’s how I saw it.
OMFG I have'nt laughes so hard...(maybe not the best choice of word...anywho) I really needed to laugh and I'm gonna send the link to my friends, they'll die, it.s so funny. Thanks very much, this is the greatest I have heard for long long time and I have it on my playlist (duhh) BUT there are certain things,food and items I won't/can't eat again, EVER and stuff I'm going to look at and laugh so hard out loud...and only I know why, lmfao! Love it, thanks! And thanks to the person who got me to watch this, thanks! ;) XoXo Anne-Kristine , Copenhagen
The only author's reading I ever attended was Harlan Ellison at a bookstore in Encino, Califirnia. Harlan wrote weird stuff too. But he wasn't as funny as Palahniuk. Ellison wrote I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM.
The world needs more art. Thanks Chuck.
how cool is this guy
I wish I was gay.

make your audience hypoxic while they try to listen to you. genius.

Great questions by students and great answers.A great meeting of mines

So the dad came in his sons mouth?
At namedropping tourette syndrome: Do you draw hypothetical maps of human anatomy fuctionality from memory, too? I have that.
I think about stomachs, a lot. How they connect to brains. Male/female differences. Growth milestone. Different animals, including humans.
No comments, comments on society. How sad. KNOCK KNOCK here and Diary are his best work.
I know you commented 8 years ago but you right
Diary gets NO recognition
Yes.
Agreed.

@@yurisargsyan2968 umm thats not it.... I mean thats just the summary but not the meaning.
@@YungToyBreaker It's a tragic story about a kid loving his father, what other meaning do you expec))
What exactly is so tragic about it why was the father unable to laugh? Why was he crying?

I just broke out laughing at work in my office at the Radio joke, got a lot of strange looks!
I don't get the punchline
1:08:30 that's reminds me of something rick from rick and morty would do
Yes
Yes on the england theatre stage there were gay codes,slang for gays and lesbians for protection from homophobes
Writing multiple comments at once (without waiting for the World to end)!???!
