Is it just me

Or does anyone else hate the way Chuck Palanuik (sometimes) starts his sentences with "Anymore,"? It bugs me, it really does.

Anymore, is not a word I'd ever start a sentence with... wait, damn!

Chuck Palanuik bugs me anyway he chooses to start his sentences.

Yeah, I don't like him much either.

Nonono! It's not just you. I assure you, I was thinking of posting here about this just a couple days ago. I just read Choke and noticed this annoying "anymore" quirk, but told myself that it was Palahniuk's (inane) way of distinguishing the protagonist's voice. But then I read Diary and he did the exact same thing! I do not think "anymore" means what he thinks it means.

Quoth Chuck Palanuik, "Anymore."

Like that other guy, Chuck Palahniuk. As if the two were twins, am I right?

Frankly, who cares. His stories are the same, same structure, same infuriating ing ness. i give up. but thanks to uncle for noticing the same thing. i didnt notice it the first time i read it, then did a blitz of all the books of his i have, speed read, and that really s(t)uck out.
