On a long enough time line, everyone's survival rate drops to zero.

I finished reading Fight Club a few days ago. It was pretty good. There was a lot of interesting stuff to think about in it. Here are just a few little excerpts.

"That old saying, how you always kill the one you love, well, look, it works both ways."



"We don't have a great war in our generation, or a great depression, but we do, we have a great war of the spirit. We have a great revolution against the culture. The great depression is our lives. We have a spiritual depression. 
We have to show these men and women freedom by enslaving them, and show them courage by frightening them."

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Last night I watched Fight Club for the first time.
Unfortunately, I already knew what the crazy twist at the end was. But, the fact that I knew made me notice lots of subtle things. Things that screamed, 'He has a second personality! Tyler is really just him!'
It was intense, but good. I didn't quite understand how he could kill Tyler at the end without killing himself. That didn't make sense to me. I was totally expecting that he would have to die in order to get rid of Tyler, but apparently not.
I had Fight Club dreams last night. I can't remember exactly what I dreamt about, but I know it was weird. I woke up without any actual memories or pictures in my head, but I definitely had the feeling that I had been dreaming about the movie.
