Fight Club

I completely agree with Danny, that everyone should, some time in there life, read Fight Club.I bet you haven't read anything like. It is "A powerful, dark, original novel". It's one of those books that really makes you think and will opens your mind to new ideas about society.Fight Club, by Chuck Palahniuk, starts out in first person of an average business man. You learn that he has minnor problems like insomnia, he is a neat freak, and he is obsessed with buying consumer goods that he has no need for, but you never learn his real name. He hates the life that he is living, but he does nothing to change it. He feels like a prisoner of his own body, stuck doing his daily routine and is forced to fit in with society. He starts to break is daily routine by attending support groups for people with cancer and different kinds of deadly diseases, even though he is healthy. He finds out these group meetings help him release his emotions and, for the first time in his life, he is able to cry. This leads to him getting more sleep. When finally he starts to feel a little better about his life, he meets Tyler Durden. Tyler is every thing he is not and as soon as he meets Tyler, he wishes he could live Tyler's life. Together they founded fight club. Fight club is a way the average working men can release their inner anger by meeting every weekend in a basement of a bar and fight until the other opponent is beaten to a fine pulp. This was a start of a new life for him and Tyler and Fight club was just the begging of "good" things to come. I strongly recommend this book.
