"Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk

This famous (maybe infamous) book follows an unnamed male narrator and his soon-to-be best bud, Tyler Durden. The Narrator leads an uneventful life, working an office job and traveling for it (losing an hour, gaining an hour, as he so dully explains it), an apartment fully furnished by Ikea, and is weirdly plauged by insomnia. The Narrator soon figures out that he can't sleep because he can't cry, so he starts going to group therapy sessions every night as that is the only way to bring tears to his eyes. There, he meets Marla Singer, the woman who puts a wrench in his so artfully thought out design. With Marla there (another phony) he finds he cannot cry, therefore he cannot sleep at night. He unwillingly puts up with her for awhile until Tyler introduces him to a more risky, yet potent (metaphorical) drug, Fight Club. For months, the Narrator, Tyler, and any men they convince to partake in this rudimentary underground boxing ring start living more "meaningful" lives. Eventually though, Fight Club becomes something more like a paramilitary operation and it is up the narrator to figure out how to stop Tyler before it becomes too late. For lovers of the witty, the confused and insane, unreliable main characters, and of the movie with the same name starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and Helena Bonham Carter, this is the perfect read for you!
