Fight Club

Nihilism, fist-fighting, corporate terrorism, and cancer meetings. What more do you expect from Chuck's first book. The book that started it all...

Fight Club: First Edition Mission

I have searched ebay and fight club is super expensive. Does anyone know where I can get a first edition of fight club other than ebay?

socal fc?

Ok, so I'm in San Diego right now. I could go on for days explaining myself, and interested people, feel free to ask, but the reason I'm on here is because I'm interested in joining a fight club.

Simply put, however ridiculous it is, I've never really been in a fight, and I'm ready for that to change.

Long story short, if anyone knows where I can go to get info on a local fight club let me know.

When Tyler and the Narrator are together.....

When they're together, who is who? For example, when they're in the car together, is he Tyler or is he just imagining Tyler. I'm just confused because when Tyler was revealing himself in the hotel room, he says the narrator can only see him because he's asleep. But if he's asleep, he is Tyler, not himself. Is it just that when he wakes up and recalls the events, even though he was Tyler, he still refers to Tyler in the third person, thinking he was himself?

Gay Club

If chucks gay that means a lot of guys around here were true when they called Tyler-a man i was technically worshiping and trying to follow now iam not gay but tell me this if chucks gay then how come one can be so sure that Tyler is gay too?

Something i didn't get about the ending.

At the ending of the novel the narrator ends up in a mental institution which he believes (or wants to believe) is heaven, and he says that Marla writes to him from earth and that "she says that someday, they'll bring me back", a bit after that he's talking to his psychiatrist (who he believes to be god) and it is explained that the mental institution is full of space monkeys (or at least the low-paying jobs), the question i had basically is, since he says that he doesn't want go back, not yet at least.
Is that supposed to mean that he someday (if ever) will be able to get out of the institution and have the posibility of being with Marla? Or is it supposed to imply that the space monkeys willl keep him there until Tyler returns (if he ever does)?.

Sorry if my question is too dumb, but it's just been on my head for quite a while.

Did Marla hate Tyler?

I read this in another forum thread some while ago and it's been on my head ever since.

My new "First edition" copy of Fight Club

Hi guys,

Long being a convert of the film, when I finally had a little bit of money to spare and the time to read it, I bought a "first edition" copy of Fight Club from a seller on eBay.

Even though a new edition was freely available in my local bookshop, I did this because I wanted one specifically free of imagery from the successive film.

Now, I'm not under the illusion that what I bought was a first print of the first edition (probably a third print or something). However, when it arrived, I had to ask myself something I never had to before, i.e. "Is there such a thing as a counterfeit book?"

If you take a look at the photos I've taken of it at the link below (it's not a link to malware, I promise - just to a picasa web album) you can see that the pages look as though they were cut with a child's scissors. And even worse, the widths of the pages are all messed up, meaning that I can't even easily flick through my long-awaited copy of Fight Club. read more »

Did the narrator had a choice?

For some reason. I though while i read Fight Club that the narrator knew since childhood (or around college) how his life would go (boring and meaningless job and life)and pretty much gave up to that since he though there was nothing he could do to change that (until tyler) but then tyler brought all that chaos and freedom it to its exaggeration (the space monkeys and project mayhem). Sorry for being unclear, i think my point is, even with marla and tyler, with the way he was, he really did not have another choice or way for him than the one in the novel?
