Do you know Tyler Durden?
On a large enough time line, the survival rate for everyone will drop to zero.

Here's a collection of my favorite quotes:

You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.

Chapter 5

I wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every endangered panda that wouldn't screw to save its species and every whale or dolphin that gave up and ran itself aground. I wanted to burn the Louvre. I'd do the Elgin Marbles with a sledgehammer and wipe my ass with the Mona Lisa. This is my world, now. This is my world, my world, and those ancient people are dead.

Chapter 16

I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.

Chapter 20

I've been meaning to pick up this book for quite some time, I've just never gotten around to it. Damn movie adaptations always make it harder for me to enjoy the actual thing. :stare:

I hear the rest of Palanuk's books are just as fantastic.

I must have lived under a hole for a bit of time. Sadly, I had no clue that this was even a book. I just heard of the movie a few moths ago and loved it. I just took it as a movie, but thank you for enlightening me! Now this will go on my must read list. Have you watched the movie also? If so, how does it compare to the book?

I am ashamed to say this is one of the two novels of Chuck Palahniuk's that I have yet to read. I'm a huge fan of the rest of his stuff; I don't know why I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I loved this book. Unfortunately, I didn't know about it before the movie, but I enjoyed both the book and the movie, which was a surprise that I was grateful for. I quote this book a lot now. (:
