Does anyone understand "Fight Club"?

[TheAbominatrix]

No, it wouldnt matter. It causes mayhem regardless. But the question still exists as to whether they succeeded in wiping the credit records or not, and the speculation is interesting.

Squee. 'Fight Club' is one of my favorite stories ever. I read the book a few years ago and didn't think much of it...(It took me some time to adapt to Palahniuk's original writing style, which I've since adopted into my own writing.) But -- I then watched the movie out of curiousity and loved it -- which lead me to re-read the novel and fall in love with it.

...Since then, 'Fight Club' has become my personal favorite novel, somewhere high on the list of favorite films.

Has anyone ever read any of Palahniuk's other works? 'Survivor' is particularly good.

[TheAbominatrix]

I've read all of his non-fiction, excluding Lullaby. Survivor is wonderful, I think it may be my favorite, it's tied for that position with Invisible Monsters. Diary is awesome as well. I love how his books start often at the end, or in the middle of action, and then work from the beginning. Invisible Monsters especially, the way in jumps around constantly, and you dont learn some very very pertinent information until rather late in the story, while if it was going chronologically, you would have learned it relatively early. Oh and I forgot Choke, which is really freakin weird and excellent. I've yet to read a book of hus that I didnt like.

Yay for Palahniuk.

Fight Club is my faaavorite movie, even after reading the book. Everyone always says the book is better in these situations, but I thought they were clearly seperate but equally good.

The movie changed little things in the book and made them better. There are a few things in the book that would've been cool in the movie, likeMarla's mom, and pretty much all the stuff with Marla that they left out of the movie, but that would've made the movie pretty long. o.O

I obviously need to go to the library.

It was a great film. Especially since it's about Love IMO, rather then violence as some have suggested. Perhaps that's why you love it?
As is Heathers. Winona Ryder is excellent.
