Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk


The book that made the movie that inspired a cult following. Follow the life of an insomniac whose illness has more to it than he ever imagined. The book gives a much more in depth look at what really happened to turn a successful businessman into a beat-up, hardened terrorist leader. Learn how he really meets Tyler Durden. Discover the truth as to why Marla Singer was such a major role in the protagonist’s path of destruction. Find out the real way Tyler was killed. The book is extremely well written and easy to read, especially if you’ve already seen the movie. It’s exciting, full of action and a deep psychological read. “If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?” (33). If you have never read this before or seen the movie definitely start with the book. There is a lot that the movie doesn’t explain as well but both should come with the label: “WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME,” you could get into trouble.
