Fight Club is a literary classic that has been on my to-read list for far too long. I finally bit the bullet and got to it a few weeks ago - I had no idea what to expect, as I hadn't read any reviews nor watched the movie. 
 The book itself is hard to summarise. It's one that combined bitter reality and dark humour, alongside the twists a narrative can take to surprise both reader and protagonist. Although it takes its subject matters to the extreme, there's definitely something that everyone can relate to: the frustration of the status quo, of what you can't change, the rhythm of unfairness that seems drummed into the day-to-day happenings of the working class. The urge to do something and feel alive hits us all. That is what I interpreted from the novel, although I appreciate its deeper meanings and have enjoyed reading the reviews which explore them further. 
 Although the plot by itself felt weak to me, I think this book is meant to be read for its symbolism and commentary on the modern day. I'd recommend it for that.
