BOOK REPORT Title of the book: Fight Club Author (name and some general information): Chuck Palahniuk is an American novelist born February 21, 1962 in Washington, USA. He is best known as the author for the novel Fight Club (1996), which was made into a movie in 1999. Palahniuk began writing fiction in his mid-thirties. When he attempted to publish his novel, Invisible Monsters, publishers rejected it for its disturbing content. This led him to work on Fight Club which he wrote as an attempt to disturb the publisher even more for rejecting him. After initially publishing it as a short story in the 1995 compilation, Pursuit of Happiness, Palahniuk expanded it into a full novel, which --contrary to his expectations--the publisher was willing to publish. Some other well-known novels: Rant, Choke, Diary. Analysis of the book 1. Setting
Libraries. We know a lot of things thanks to books, but we do not know exactly when and where they originated, and what should be considered the first book in the world. Ancient document, written on parchment, papyri and vellum can hardly be qualified as books the way we understand the word today. Centuries went before paper replaced parchment and papyri. In the 15 th century Johann Gutenberg invented a mechanical process of duplicating texts, which we today call book printing. The first book was printed between 1444 and 1446, so these years can be considered as the beginning years of book printing. His most

Jane Austen "Pride & Prejudice" Pride and Prejudice, first published on 28 January 1813, has consistently been Jane Austen's most popular novel. Austen sold the copyright for Pride and Prejudice to Thomas Egerton. Egerton published the first edition of Pride and Prejudice in three hardcover volumes in January. The tone is light and a little humoristic. Pride and Prejudice is a humorous story of love and life among English gentility. At first the book was called "First impressions" and this gives a better expression to the requests of the author, than the later heading. People meet, do not understand each other and communication does not offer joy either. So this is contrary to love at first sight. It is a tale of love and values in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. It is a story of five sisters and their lives. It is a story through the dangerous, exciting and loving feelings of the characters.

Batman first appeared in 1939 in Detective Comics #27. Since then Batman has been an important and influential character in the comic book universe.

"Kui ta läks männipuust maalimislaua juurde, mis asetses kõrge kardinatega kaetud akna all, tõstis Dorian Gray kuldse pea patjadelt ning vaatas teda kahvatu näoga ja pisarais silmadega." (Chapter 2, p. 25) I think this book is worth recommending to everybody. Every person can find something amusive and learn from Dorian's mistakes. Conclusion Overall, I think this book was quite an enjoyable reading. Altough, at first it was a little bit dull and too Dorian-centered, the plot developed nicely and became more interesting.

Although Damrong was a prostitute he was having some indescribable feeling for her. It wasn't exactly love more like fondness. He never got Damrongs' way of living.

It doesn't have a clear message, but if I have to think of
