Fight Club
Chuck Palahniuk
For this #throwbackthursday I thought about a classic which made me totally rethink the homonymous movie by D. Fincher: "Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk. While the movie is more famous, I believe this work about modern alienation is much deeper, hands down. #classicreading https://t.co/L6J3DHwjEz
