Chuck Palahniuk in Toronto

One of my favorite authors is coming to Toronto. I wish I had the time to go up and see him. Chuck Palahniuk is doing a reading from his new book Rant.

It all takes place at the Indigo bookstore at Yonge and Eglinton. The reading starts at 7:00 pm and he'll signing copies of the new book.

If you're in the area or you like Chuch Palahinuk's writing then I would recommend going because it's one of those rare chances to meet such a great author.
