Fight Club has a bunch of rules. I forget how many. Six? Seven? A bunch. Like no shirts, no shoes.The fight stops when someone asks for it to stop. And you have to fight the first time you go to the club. :)<BR/><BR/>It seems to be a novel that really connected with guys, even Christian ones. I remember a discussion group I was with and the men were definitely into the novel. We have romance fantasies, and I guess guys have "being macho fighter" fantasies. heh.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and having a cult following doesn't guarantee one has talent. Ed Wood has one. And there are actually people who bought albums where Yoko Ono screeched like a demented banshee. Go figure.<BR/>MirAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1118299587676573522005-06-09T02:46:00.000-04:002005-06-09T02:46:00.000-04:00"The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk a..."The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is you DO NOT talk about Fight club." <BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>I love to browse. Hubby and I will go to the store and be there until our necks are all gone funky from leaning to the right. However, I do most of my browsing online. I browse Amazon.com like a fiend. And I order way too many books, books I never get to in a timely fashion (if at all), books that pile up all over my house so it's hard to walk. I'm addicted to books. Sigh. But, browsing online is great. Instant multiple reviews and synopses and excerpts. Wonderful. I go to the store with a list. And browsing is merely to see what I can find by chance, mere fun, serendipity. And the sales, natch.<BR/><BR/>MirAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1118283157363904392005-06-08T22:12:00.000-04:002005-06-08T22:12:00.000-04:00Finally!

I found it full of fascinating and quirky characters and enjoyed it. I understand that in his fiction he doesn't shy away from graphic descriptions, so I suspect that's what is getting to his listeners.<BR/>Lindalindaruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641353710444426267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1118244428938607872005-06-08T11:27:00.000-04:002005-06-08T11:27:00.000-04:00I will try to come up with a a lucid, well thought...I will try to come up with a a lucid, well thought-out, intelligent response. <BR/><BR/>If that fails I'll post my usual crap.<BR/><BR/>--Chris (dFm)Mikesellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522375368851193970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1118243798511628632005-06-08T11:16:00.000-04:002005-06-08T11:16:00.000-04:00Is the guy really that awful a writer?
