Fight Club #1

Fight Club a book by Chuck Palahniuk, was published August 17,1996. It is a fictional work that was written by the author, in my opinion to make the reader look at the world differently. This book has an interesting narrative hook, that begins "TYLER GETS ME a job as a waiter, after that Tyler's pushing a gun in my mouth and saying, the first step to eternal life is you have to die. For a long time though, Tyler and I were best friends. People are always asking, did I know about Tyler Durden." I really like this book because it is not written traditionally, and includes more insight and thought process than other books I have read.
