Fight Club

I've read this book once already, and I have seen the movie. Reading this book for the second time makes me feel sort of dumb. The twist is almost obvious. "What Tyler knows, I know." Everything seems to give away the twist, but yet no one in a million years could ever guess the ending. I also like this book because it's like a rookie signing with a pro team and then ending up being the star his first year. As we've talked about in class, Palahniuk does make mistakes because this is his first book and he still made it big. I don't beleive that this book shows the pure genius that The Plague did, but it is very entertaining and the idea is great. I love the idea of Nihilism, because nothing really does matter. Once we are gone from here, I don't believe that we will float up and live in bliss in the sky. This is it, and this book presents this in a great and entertaining way. Yes at times, The Plague was very boring, but at the same time it was presenting such a cool idea.
