I am reading Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk and this week I read for two hours.
The first chapter of fight club takes place on the roof top of a 190 floor building with a guy, Tyler holding a gun in the mouth of his partner in crime (who’s book the perspective is being told from). This chapter takes place in present time and delves into the big scheme of destruction all centered around the termination of the National Museum. Could this big plan of anarchy really be all about a girl (Marla)? The book goes on to introduce its readers to Marla and how she entered into the main character’s life (they meet because they both go to cancer support groups because it helps Marla feel better about herself and it is freeing to the main character and allows him to sleep which is a big deal since he suffers from insomnia). The next part of the book introduces its readers to Tyler and how he and the main character meet (they meet on a nude beach and the main character and Tyler exchange numbers after Tyler teaches him about putting forth a lot of effort just for one moment of perfection).
I’ve seen the movie, so I am really enjoying comparing the book to the movie and experiences new pieces to the story. There are a lot of components to the story so having it broken down into more detail has been really helpful in better understanding the story. It’s really interesting and I am enjoying it thus far.
