She's About To Be Such A Fucking Cunt

She's about to be such a fucking cunt

John Rylands Library,  Manchester ,England.

Last New Year, I resolved to read some classic novels this year.

I promptly forgot about that until I was sitting in the airport to go visit my grandparents this year.

Luckily, it wasn't too late. I had plenty of books I wanted to get through, since I didn't really do any pleasure reading last semester, but when I got home from school, I got the random itch to finally read Fight Club by Chuck Palahnuik. I finished it on the flight home -- just barely making it in time for the New Year.

I highly recommend this book! Chuck Palahnuik is an absolute freak of a man with a very unique style. I love the way he develops Tyler as sort of a cult leader figure -- it's very unnerving how he makes his awful suggestions sound so appealing.

I think it was a risky move to leave the narrator completely nameless, but I think he pulled it off really well. It's easy to project onto the narrator, and as the story goes on, you see how the narrator dehumanizes himself and others (such as the Space Monkeys, who are referred to as a mass, or the Mechanic, who's a sort of prophet figure.)

I loved Marla as a character. I didn't see the twist coming. It was a quick read. Highly recommend.

Oooh, ahhh

Happy End of Finals Week and the Semester to those celebrating!
