Wow. This is an incredibly f*ed up book. You ever read something and when you're finished you feel just emotionally blasted and wrung-out, your eyes all gritty like you haven't slept in days? This is one of those books. Despite my constantly growing sense of horror, I could not put it down.

got in the mail from fanclub, along with a nicely wrapped box of chocolates and a newspaper from Honolulu. Thanks!
The bookplate even lists the first release location as "Phantom's Room." LOL!
Good girl!
*scratches fanclub's ears and under her collar* ;)

I agree with fanclub that "This is an incredibly f*ed up book." But it's engrossing.
The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club.
A tiger can smile
A snake will say it loves you
Lies make us evil
Worker bees can leave
Even drones can fly away
The queen is their slave
The "hero" of Fight Club is a worker bee. He's sick of his pointless life. He's sick of his dead-end job. He's a recall campaign coordinator, working for a car company. Every time there's something wrong with a car, he does a little math. Take the population of vehicles in the field, multiply by the probability of failure, multiply by the cost of an out-of-court settlement. If the result is less than the cost of a recall, don't do a recall. The number of people who might be killed or injured doesn't enter into it. This guy has seen the bodies.
He has insomnia, so he goes to support groups. If people thought you were dying, they gave you their full attention. Brain parasites, melanoma, testicular cancer. He never gives his real name. He doesn't have brain parasites, melanoma, or testicular cancer. What he has is something there isn't a support group for. Something all too common.
Until he meets Tyler Durden. Tyler has ideas.
Tyler knows how to make soap. First you must render fat. The first soap arose from the remains of human sacrifices, the melted fat of the sacrifices mixing with rain that seeped through the wood ashes to form a solution of lye, making a thick white discharge of soap that crept down the river from the altar. The first soap was made of heroes. With enough soap, you could blow up the whole world.
Tyler knows how to run a movie projector and splice single frames of pornography into children's movies without his boss knowing.
Tyler knows three ways to make napalm.
Tyler has a request. "I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
Tyler has a plan. The true purpose of it, only Tyler Durden knows.
The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club.
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone will drop to zero.
Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer.
Maybe self-destruction is the answer.
If you could be God's worst enemy, or nothing, which would you choose?

Caught at the North American BookCrossing Convention in Toronto. I picked it up as this book was recommended to me a while ago by Reno himself. Thanks for releasing it, phantomreader42. (And it was nice to meet you, finally!)
Wow! This is one of the strangest books I've read. Kept me enthralled. And appalled. And confused. I'm sure I won't get it out of my head for a long time.
The book is promised to pinkbug1 and will be mailed out ASAP.
