Fight Club: A Novel

by Chuck Palahniuk

In his debut novel, Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation's most visionary satirist. Fight Club's estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret boxing matches in the basement of bars. There two men fight "as long as they have to." A gloriously original work that exposes what is at the core of our modern world.

Fight Club is my favorite movie. The book was all over the place — like the movie. Somehow the format fit the screen better for me.

I really think if I read this book before seeing the movie, I might have enjoyed it. I really enjoy the movie and the book is really good too, but I knew the twist and that kind of defeated the purpose of reading it.
