An underground classic since its first publication in 1996, Fight Club is now recognized as one of the most original and provocative novels published in this decade. Chuck Palahniuk's darkly funny first novel tells the story of a godforsaken young man who discovers that his rage at living in a world filled with failure and lies cannot be pacified by an empty consumer culture. Relief for him and his disenfranchised peers comes in the form of secret after-hours boxing matches held in the basements of bars. Fight Club is the brainchild of Tyler Durden, who thinks he has found a way for himself and his friends to live beyond their confining and stultifying lives. But in Tyler's world there are no rules, no limits, no brakes.

Unfortunately I just don't have enough time this weekend to simply put a couple o...
I liked reading this book, it was fun, darkly funny and hypnotic to read. Apparently while Chuck Palahniuk was writing this book, he had the album The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails on repeat and Trent Reznor the singer from Nine Inch Nails had the film Fight Club on repeat while he was writing ...
Der Beginn Tyler besorgt mir einen Job als Kellner, und dann schiebt mir Tyler eine Pistole in den Mund und sagt, als ersten Schritt zum ewigen Leben musst du sterben. Lange Zeit waren Tyler und ich jedoch die besten Freunde. Ich werde ständig gefragt, ob ich über Tyler Durden Bescheid gewusst habe....
I saw the movie several years ago. I am going to assume most people have seen the movie, and know what the deal is, and I'm going to write this review with that assumption, so here is your chance to stop reading. I was not expecting a nice story. I was expecting something that messes with one'...
