Fight Club Pgs 1-40

I just started a new book called "Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk. So far, I love this book. I can't believe I am already breaking the first rule of fight club, don't talk about fight club. Fight Club opens up with the two main characters, the unnamed main character and Tyler Durden. They are standing on top of the Parker-Morris Building with Tyler shoving a gun in the narrator's mouth. The unnamed narrator goes on to explain how they got there and the explanation of the plastic explosives posistioned underneath the building. The plan is to blow up the building and topple the true target, The national museum. The book then flashes back to before the plan was every evena thought, before Tyler and the narrator ever met. The unnamed narrator works as a Product Recall Specialist for an unnamed car company, responsible for determining if product recalls of defective models meet cost-benefit analysis. The stress of his job combined with his frequent business trips leads to jet lag. He comes to recognize that his identity is imposed on him by his job and by his possessions and that he is not in control of his life. The narrator seeks treatment for insomnia, and at his doctor's recommendation, attends a support group for men suffering from testicular cancer, to "see what real suffering is like". He finds that crying and listening to the problems of others cures his insomnia. This treatment works until he meets Marla Singer. The possibly disturbed Marla reflects the narrator's "tourism", reminding him that he is a faker and does not belong there. He begins to hate Marla for keeping him from crying, and, therefore, from sleeping. After a confrontation, they agree to attend separate support group meetings to avoid each other. The truce is uneasy, however, and the narrator's insomnia returns

I absolutely love this book so far! Its just the book I have been looking for to get me ethusiastic about doing my reading logs. I already feel bad though, I already broke the first rule of Fight Club... Dont talk about fight club. But oh well, I think that the narrator is a lonely pittiful man who needs to find something or someone in his life to heal himself. The faking thing isnt a good way to go.
