Fight Club (the book): Review

Honestly, I feel a little bit disappointed, because I watched the movie before reading the book and all the suspense was robbed for me. Is it me or the end is different (death or jail)? A good summery at page 167, "I said that if you talked about me behind my back, you'd never see me again," Tyler said. "We're not two separate men. Long story short, when you're awake, you have the control, and you can call yourself anything you want, but the second you fall asleep, I take over, and you become Tyler Durden." Also, for me everything started when Marla came to the support groups (page 24). We will never know the name of the protagonist, right? The book is more of a twisted hate / love story in the end for me (page 197 and 205), with a fight against the consumer society. I have just noticed that the first chapter was actually about the end (page 11 to 15). From the beginning we learned that the character cannot sleep since three weeks and "everything becomes an out-of-body experience," (page 19), or "This is how it is with insomnia. Everything is so far away, a copy of a copy of a copy. The insomnia distance of everything, you can't touch anything and nothing can touch you" (page 21 and 96-97). On the opposite, "Every time you fall asleep," Tyler says, "I run off and do something wild, something crazy, something completely out of my mind" (page 163 and 174) or to summery, "This is a dream. Tyler is a projection. He's a disassociative personality disorder" (page 168 and 196). We meet the famous Tyler Durden at page 25. The protagonist job is terrible, those poor victims. When we learn about the five rules of fight club at page 48 to 50. We learn more about Marla at page 61. I'm so team Marla, especially when she said, "You're such a flake. You love me. You ignore me. You save my life, then you cook my mother into soap" (page 160). The protagonist is really one of Marla's stories (page 183). The most disgusting thing Tyler did with the soup, page 85. Then, there is the Project Mayhem at page 119 and its five rules (page 122 and 125). Are all the space monkeys men? (page 130) At page 136, they are using human fat to make soap? I didn't understand the dog's name reference "Entourage", because he feels so lonely? (page 146) RIP Big Bob (page 177), at least better dying like this than from cancer. Oh and the boss is dead (page 185). Almost all the sign of Insomnia: page 19, 21, 22-23, 24, 25, 96-97, 99, 101, 122, 162. All the clue that the protagonist and Tyler are the same person: page 26 (I know this because Tyler knows this), 27, 32, 33, 48 (I did this to myself), 52 (I did this to myself), 54, 56 (I dreamed I was humping Marla Singer), 59 (I dreamed I was humping Marla Singer), 65, 68, 71, 75, 78, 93 (It wasn't me. It was Tyler), 94 (Until I found Tyler or until Tyler found me), 112 (I know this because Tyler knows this), 114 (Tyler and I were looking more and more like identical twins), 116, 123, 124, 129 (Good cop. Bad cop), 138 (I'm still asleep. Here, I'm not sure if Tyler is my dream. Or if I am Tyler's dream), 140 (Is this a test? Are you testing us?), 155 (These are Tyler's words coming out of my mouth. I am Tyler's mouth. I am Tyler's hands), 157 (If you can wake up in a different place. If you can wake up in a different time. Why can't you wake up as a different person?), 158 ("You stopped in last week, Mr. Durden," he says. "Don't you remember?"), 159 (You have a birthmark, Mr. Durden, the bartender says. On your foot"). It's finally at the page 167-168, that we learn the true identity of Tyler Durden, "Tyler Durden is a separate personality I've created, and now he's threatening to take over my real life" (page 173). I really didn't understand chapter 30, especially page 207 and 208, is the protagonist dead or just in jail? Nice quotes: - page 46: "May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect." - page 49: "Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer. Tyler never knew his father. Maybe self-destruction is the answer." - page 50: "The gyms you go to are crowded with guys trying to look like men, as if being a man means looking the way a sculptor or an art director says." - page 58: "Sometimes you do something, and you get screwed. Sometimes it's the things you don't do, and you get screwed." - page 62: "Put a gun to my head and paint the wall with my brains." - page 69: "So, I say, how is Marla? Tyler says, "At least Marla's trying to hit bottom."" - page 70: ""It's only after you've lost everything," Tyler says, "that you're free to do anything."" - page 99: "Maybe, I say, you shouldn't be bringing me every little piece of trash you pick up." - page 108: "Marla's philosophy of life, she told me, is that she can die at any moment. The tragedy of her life is that she doesn't." - page 126: "If you know where to look, there are bodies buried everywhere." - page 137: "A telephone was ringing in my dream, and it's not clear if reality slipped into my dream or if my dream is slopping over into reality." You shouldn't definitively watch the movie before reading the book. Bonsoir. Thank you, next.

those first couple weeks after escaping a time loop have gotta be disorienting as all fuck. all those little cues that used to tell you what's about to happen are now triggers that cause you to brace for something that isn't coming. you have to relearn the permanence of death -- hell, you have reacquaint yourself with the entire concept of finality altogether. everything keeps changing but it never changes back and you keep having to remind yourself that this is normal. "it won't reset anymore," you echo to yourself, over and over and over, like a broken record, like you're still trapped in a loop, like someone who escaped the time loop but was doomed to bring it into the future with them

#orcspeak #edit: this is not about fanfic nor is it about a specific fanfic nor is it about a specific show or movie or book #this post is about the time loop trope itself which occurs in many different stories spanning many different art forms #i don't read or write fanfic and I'm not looking for fanfic recs and whatever character you think this is about there's #an 80 percent chance i don't recognize their name

“omg I love that show!” yeah me too it makes up 34% of my core personality. unfortunately i can’t discuss it in public without having a meltdown

I don't mind that Walker Scobell doesn't look like book!Percy because 1) he's absolutely got the spirit. Walker basically is Percy, you can see and feel that in every one of his scenes, and

2) If book!Percabeth had a baby, he would look exactly like Walker Scobell, and I think that's hilariously perfect

#pjo #percy jackson #disney #annabeth chase #percabeth #walker scobell #he's just a great percy #and he also happens to look just like the combination of book percy and annabeth and it's great #pjo tv show #pjo ser

I think one reason Goncharov worked so well is that on tumblr you’re regularly being subjected to fandoms you’re not in and media you’ve never seen. I assumed the people i followed all just got really into some movie that I had no interest in and scrolled right past for a solid week before realizing.

#goncharov #as far as i know murderbot could be made-up everyone i follow is talking about it i don’t even know if it’s a book or a show or what

[counting-stars-gayly]

It’s time we accept that Percy Jackson is an unreliable narrator. He’s not dumb. He’s just insecure. He’s not clueless about his and Annabeth’s feelings. He’s just in denial. He’s not clueless about Rachel’s feelings. He just doesn’t want to do anything about them. His mother isn’t perfect. He just loves and respects her more than anyone in the world. That boy contradicts his own inner monologue all the time. Do not trust him!!

EDIT: Please don’t interact just to disagree. You can make your own post.

Book 3 Percabeth is insane like 😭 in "We Visit the Junkyard of the Gods" Percy spent three paragraphs talking about how Aphrodite was the most beautiful woman he's ever seen and the fourth paragraph started with "she looked like Annabeth"

Obsessed with how Annabeth isn't spacial, she isn't a chosen one, she has no demigod magic powers, she is for all intents and purposes, a fairly normal girl.

But she poured her blood, sweat and tears into becoming the best warrior she could be. She trained hard for years because she knew she had disadvantages and she didn't want to be seen as weak.

She's literally known in Camp and by monsters like Alecto as the most powerful demigod alive and she doesn't have powers. It's almost as of girls don't need to be magical to be a hero!
