Review of “Fight Club
by Chuck Palahniuk
Fight Club is an amazing book. Initially it was published as a short story in the compilation of Pursuit of Happiness . Later on in August 1996 Palahniuk expanded it to a full length novel and the books was published by W. W. Norton & Company. The genre of the book has been stated to be satirical novel.
The novel tells a story about an miserable specialist of a car company. From day to day, he traveled from city to city, inspecting car crashes and deciding whether it was the car producers fault or not. He spent all his free time in cheap motels with insomnia and on daily basis watching corps, blood and human flesh mixed with oil and scrap metal has its own effect on his mind. Since there really isn’t a support group for people with similar faith, the narrator starts going to random meetings of suffering people. Soon, the ultimate redemption arrives – meeting Mr. Tyler Durden, the exact opposite of the narrator himself.
I think for Mr. Palahniuk, the book is a way of telling the World how twisted the consumerist world is. The way of telling, is of course a bit extreme , depending on the readers taste, but I truly like it. Characters , like Mr. Durden himself, are to somewhat insane and perverse, as a normal person would not slice pornographic images into cinema projectable movies , but they serve their purpose.
When I first read the book, it was nothing too special , but I couldn’t put it away either. There was something strange that kept telling me not to stop reading . At some point, the style of the book, reminded me a bit of Kurt Vonnegut’s style of realistic insanity. Anyhow, it was not until the mid-chapters of the book, when I realized that I was holding most probably one of the best books, I had ever read, in my hand . To understand it, you have to read it. After I read the book I changed my mind about the movie. Before reading the book I thought that the movie is more so called” guy movie” and me as a casual fan of comedy wont like it. To finish all I have to say is that I liked the movie but I loved the book.

Fight Club - Book review

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 The story takes place in somewhere between 1980s and 1990s in the United States. 2. Characters

Libraries

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 important preserved printings are the 40 copies of the Bible. By the end of the 15 th century there were about 1000 print-shops in Europe already. The oldest Estonian book dates back to 1535. Libraries form a vital part of education. They make available-through books, films, recordings and other media- knowledge that h

Merde Actually

Merde Actually By Stephen Clarke "Merde Actually" is written by Stephen Clarke, who is a British journalist and a novelist living in Paris. When he first arrived in Paris, he experienced a cultural shock and got inspired by it. He started to keep a diary of his experiences and decided to publish it as a novel when the Anglo-French relationships were at their worst during the Iraq War spring 2003. Therefore his novels (he has written three in this series) have become enormously popular all around the world, especially because they are partly true. Stephen Clarke himself still lives in Paris with his French girlfriend. This novel is considered to be seriously funny and a comedy with a message. "Merde Actually" has one main character whose name is Paul West, but there are also many other significant characters, that come from the previous book "A Year in the Merde". I can say that it would be better to

something about orientation in zero gravity and that knowledge helped him a lot later. Most of the time passes in Battle School, which is composed of army barracks with rows of bunk beds; dining halls one for soldiers and one for commanders, with scoreboards decorating both; the game room, with various video games for the children to play; battlerooms, where the children have practice and battles in zero gravity; and a gym with shower rooms, where Ender and Bonzo fight. There is also an area for teachers' quarters, which the children never go to, but it is presumably in this vicinity where the conversations between Graff and other adults takes place. After Battle School he returns to Earth before going to Command School. There in the wilderness is a large house, overlooking lakes on either side. Although there are wasps that Ender says will sting without provocation, the setting is peaceful, allowing Ender the mental recovery and relaxation he needs.
