Picking up where I left off, the main character arrives home from a business meeting only to discover that his single apartment in a building full of apartments has been dynamited to shreds; all that remains is the base unit of the apartment. Still having Tyler’s number and not really knowing who else to call, the main character dials his number, they meet at a bar, and Tyler agrees to let him move in under one condition: he hit Tyler as hard as he can. And this is how fight club began. It started out because these two characters wanted to know what it was like to have a couple scars and they wanted to know more about themselves. There are several rules to fight club, but the main rule to remember is that you don’t talk about fight club. Fight club creates an alternate reality for men of all ages and types to release their emotions in; it is a different world than the one they live in during the week. And so begins the episode of an alternate reality (away from each man's normal life) through fight club.
I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book or not, but I am really liking it. I do have to admit being able to compare it to the movie does help understand it better and allows me to go in a little deeper as a first time reader than I normally would be able to. This book also fascinates me because I feel as if I am getting a peak into the male mind and how it opperates as oppose to the female mind. I am also loving how the book flashes from time period to the next. I am definitely excited to keep reading and find out how things will play out!
