Where is Cornflower blue?
I know that chuck puts that color in everyone of is books. I was just wondering if any of you knew the exact page it was on in every book or just some. I know about Fight club already so any of the other

Wow, is that really true that cornflower blue is in every book? Or is this one of those, gullible isn't in the dictionary...
I'm really pretty sure it wasn't in Snuff, Rant, Diary, Lullaby, or Choke.
Hmmm, you sure? I could've sworn there was something about a close up of something cornflower blue (an eye?) in Snuff.
It's definitely in Survivor.
I don't have my book right now.
I'm at school.
I don't care just what you think as long as it's about me.
You would have to look to find exact pages but I beleive that it is in all of his books. Also in every one, he mentions some location in Montana. I don't know why but he does.
the montana is cause thts where is parents live

Using Amazon's "Search Inside This Book" feature, I see in Survivor it's on pages 56 and 58.
I just googled Chuck and cornflower blue and while it gave me a lot of hits with the two being related I cant find anything in the sites that actually says anything about it! Silly websites
You can't believe in anyone else
I never found it in Rant but as I recall, every other novel has it.
gullible isnt in the dictionary?
really?
douche
It wasn't in Invisible Monsters either as far as I can recall. I actually looked for it since I've heard this rumour. It's just a rumour I guess...
"Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested."
"Jemand musste Josef K. verleumdet haben, denn ohne dass er etwas Böses getan hätte, wurde er eines Morgens verhaftet"
Haunted, page 41, chapter 3, seventh paragraph:
"In the French Louis XV lobby, the chairs and sofas all cornflower-blue velvet, the walls crowded and busy with plaster curls and scrolls painted gold, there, Miss America stood in her pink spandex active wear and asked for the key."
I'm currently spooling through Invisible Monsters for any occurence of the phrase. If it's there, I'll find it.
"Reality is what I make of it."

I think the town is Missoula, Montana
cornflower blue and (as far as i know) portland, oregon is mentioned, visited, or eluded to in all of chuck's books.
EDIT: side note, i have cornflower blue curtains. its sort of a light blue thats too light to be truly blue and not light enough to be light blue. like blue gray, i suppose.

“...There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one's head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people's pain. You ought to have some apprehension that the man you see before you was once even younger than you are now and arrived at his present wretchedness by imperceptible degrees.”
-James Baldwin
i don't know if anyone has already said this cause i don't have much time now to read all the responses. so sorry if i'm repeating others.
the first time i encountered "cornflower blue" was in The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. i would be so happy to know if he was referencing her. but probably she is refing someone else, and he is refing like a copy of a copy of a copy.
In Stranger than Fiction, in the sex show story, it takes place in Missoula or something like that.
My love, I hate you.
I don't even know exactly what it looks like.
