Chuck Palahniuk, author of "Fight Club," has just come out with "Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon," a loving ode to his home town, Portland, Oregon, which, among other things, has the highest concentration of nude dancing clubs in the nation (with the possible exception of Anchorage, Alaska).
"Sign #1: At the store, you lean over and pick up your change with your teeth." Ha! Love it.

Palahniuk is currently on his book tour (he'll be at Cody's in Berkeley tonight & Beverly Hills Tuesday).
He said Fugitives and Refugees was the book he most enjoyed writing because he was able to chronicle some people and history of Portland nobody else would probably have paid attention to.
He's giving out presents to everyone who asks a question during the Q&A which is a lot of fun.
Some people might not think the story (which will be in a collection coming out in 2005) he has been reading is fun. I'd suggest bringing a bottle of water (peopel have passed out at each event).
There is also a DVD of a documentary on him coming out.
