Intro to Reading: Blog 10

I am continuing to read Fight Club, written by Chuck Palahniuk.  I read this book for 1.5 hours. 

The book goes on to talk about how Tyler has begun to make lots of money through a deal he struck with Nordstrom in holiday soap making.  During this portion of the book, the author begins to realize more and more that Tyler is up to something, something big, but when the author tries to confront him about this, Tyler simply says, "if you love me, then you'll trust me.  This isn't something you need to know about right now." Tyler gets the author into a mess when he uses Marla's mother to send him her fat in order to make good soap; Marla finds out and loses it.  In the next part, the author talks about the illegal acts that are going on at his work.  The author gets busted by his boss for typing up fight club rules when he leaves the original copy at the copying machine, but is able to slyly get away with it through denial.  The author begins to discover, through one of the therapy groups he is attending that fight club has been expanding (branching out).  In the next part of the book, Marla thinks she's found a lump that might be a sign that she has cancer so she has the author of the book come over and check it out.  The author checks it out for her and confirms that it is nothing. 

This book is very interesting one to read, as it jumps for one event to the next.  It is something hard to keep up with.  I know when I reach the end I will be able to piece it all together, but right now it is kind of hard to do that.  This book is good for me because it makes me think, which I don't often dig real deep into my thinking ability when reading a book.  Even though I can't understand it all yet, I am comprehending it as I've got that movie strip playing in my head.
