Moleskine Monday: Chuck Palahniuk Relies on Them… But Burns Them!

Spotted in this weekend’s Wall Street Journal, among Chuck Palahniuk’s list of favorite things:

 

“I rely on Moleskine notebooks. I just fell into the habit—they’re so nice looking. I was in Madrid last summer, and found they had them in all these neon colors—wild bright reds and yellows—that I can’t find in Portland [Ore.], at least. I write my first drafts in them, and the colors allow me to keep track of what notes are in what book. Once I’ve keyed in all of the notes, I burn the notebook. It’s served its purpose and I just don’t like the accumulation of things.”

One thought on “Moleskine Monday: Chuck Palahniuk Relies on Them… But Burns Them!”

  1. Interesting article. I especially liked how he sends gifts to people he meets (at signings?), choosing something that will appeal to the senses. But burn a Moleskine, not sure I could.
