Fight Club was so fun to find when I was a youngin’.  My friend Sarah recommended it to me, and I loved it.  It got me on a Palahniuk kick that lasted for years, and has finally completely faded away.  I have been so disappointed with him lately.  I am not going to re-read Fight Club because I am afraid I have outgrown it, but I love how I loved it back then.  I think I would still enjoy it today, and I do like the movie, but I also think it would just be different.  I mean, I hope it would?  
I have to say, there are days where I wish I could just go into a basement, fight someone I don’t know, leave, and go about my life.  I am sure that is not what I am suppose to glean from this book, and I do cringe a little even thinking it since I remember some kids in high school making their own absurd/ridiculous “fight clubs” in the labyrinths of the local mall.  I really would rather not relate to them.  And have you seen the insurance mayhem commercials lately?  What’s that about?
Anyway, Palahniuk should not be held up as a genius, but he use to be quick and fun to read—way before the days of Snuff.  If you want this book, let me know ASAP.
