Every weekend, in basements and parking lots across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded for as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything. Fight Club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter and dark, anarchic genius. And it's only the beginning of his plans for revenge on a world where cancer support groups have the corner on human warmth.

A glimpse into the abyss

I don't even know where to begin to describe this novel. Is it satiric? Is it a thriller? Or is it a dark comedy? It's one of these book that let's you take a look into to the abyss of human existence, but it's not really serious either. There's this guy who is bored with life, and then he meets Tyler Durban. They do some really weird shit, one of it is founding the Fight Club, where ordinary people fight 'til they're bleeding, just for the fun of it, or to feel they are alive. But Tyler also has some really mad ideas. If you don't mind some gory scenes, I can absolutely recommend this little novel.
