Are these things really better than the things I already have? Or am I just trained to be dissatisfied with what I have now?

You are not special. You’re not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

“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.”

literally spent 10 straight hours yesterday sat in the same spot rereading & annotating fight club over & over again bc i only had annotations in my original copy i’ve had for close to 10 yrs and my other 2 copies felt empty without any. i annotated with highlighter in my original copy every time i read it but the ink faded so much over the years you couldn’t see the annotations anymore. so yesterday i sat in the same spot and reread and annotated the exact same words and sentences and passages and chapters and book three times over with the same highlighter for 10 hours. a copy of a copy of a copy
and this is your life and it’s ending one minute at a time and nothing is static everything is falling apart and oh tyler please deliver me from clever art and HELLO! i am so ZEN. and the three ways to make napalm: and people are always asking did i know about tyler durden and i’m writing a little haiku in my head and this is a chemical burn and it will hurt worse than you’ve ever been burned and tyler is full of useful information and you wake up at jfk and i sniff the gasoline on my hands and now remember that was three times you promised and the demo goes on and the penguin said slide and we’ve just lost cabin pressure and only a hummingbird could have caught tyler at work and i fell down i did this to myself and my boss is wearing his gray tie so today must be a tuesday and paraffin has never ever worked for me and i am joe’s boiling point and a criminal is a criminal is a criminal and we’re down to our last ten minutes and tyler’s words coming out of my mouth i used to be such a nice person and life insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip and yes there was a book and i know this because tyler knows this and i remember everything and
#didnt have to reference the book once for that entire mess of quotes. i remember everything (lol)#and before u come for me YES it is ‘i am joe’s ___’ in the book not jack’s#and to top it off after doing all of that I DID NOT SLEEP!!!!! bc my insomnia said fuck you#my original copy is a 1997 first edition owl books softcover paperback (movie tie-in cover)#if anything happened to it i would be beside myself. ironic i know#i eventually want to have every edition of the book. have one of each cover#fight club#chuck palahniuk my fucking beloved#tyler durden#<- my namesake btw. if u even care#dont get me wrong i had a blast doing it but it was also an out of body experience lol#i read it all the way thru at least five times. halfway thru at least four times. so yeah.#fight club is my favorite book for a reason and if that makes u upset u prob didnt realize the whole thing is satire. chuck writes satire.#i will never shut up abt fight club#i have 2 fight club tattoos & counting lol#what ty’s reading#ty is reading fight club on infinite loop#chuck palahniuk#ty posts!!!!!!#ty posts#dont take this post seriously i just saw the irony in what i was doing and then boom. stream of consciousness brought to u by my insomnia

With a long knife in his left hand and a club in the other he made a rush at the ring, trying to burst out back towards Hobbiton.

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.

Quote
I see all this potential and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars, advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great War, no Great Depression, our Great War is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives, we've been all raised by television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't and we're slowly learning that fact. and we're very very pissed off.
