Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

Fight Club

by Chuck Palahniuk

Every weekend, in basements and parking lots across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded for as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything. Fight Club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter and dark, anarchic genius. And it's only the beginning of his plans for revenge on a world where cancer support groups have the corner on human warmth.

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.
