I think you begin to like Fight Club a lot better when you realize it's a love story, amongst everything else. And what an amazing one it is.

dark reflective tense

4.25

Interesting to see the differences between the book and the movie. The lengths at which the narrator and Tyler go to destroy each other is greater here. I liked the movie more, but always love having another medium to engage with a story that puts my thoughts in a full nelson. Would not recommend listening to the audiobook while drifting in and out of sleep…your subconscious might take notes. (But seriously, the repetition makes it difficult to track where you fell asleep.)
