Fight Club Entry #3

Tyler's soap started becoming very popular. Nordstroms called with an order for 200 bars before christmas. This left the narrator and Tyler with a lot of money to spend. They now had money to go out on saturday nights. Narrator and Tyler sit in an old impala on a lot with junkie cars that don't cost more than $200. They drink beers here and talk about their lives. They sleep in the car that night because they don't want to go home because Marla called the police on them. Marla later comes over to Tyler's to put her moms collagen (fat) into their freezer because she doesn't have a freezer and one day she will want to use it for a lip injection. She discovers when she opens the freezer that they had used all her collagen to make their soap and is furious and chases the narrator around the house. That is why they were staying in the car that night. Narrators boss finds a sheet of paper on the copy machine with the rules of fight club and asks if it is his. He denies it and wonders how he had left a copy behind. He plays it off as someone else's paper who has a diseased mind to write something like this. That night Narrator goes to one of his support groups called Remaining Men Together to find that only him and Big Bob are there and Big Bob tells him about how all the other members went to fight club and explains the rules which were the exact rules Tyler had made for his fight club. Then Big Bob asks if he knows who the creator is Tyler Durden and narrator replies maybe. Marla calls the narrator and asks him to come over and feel her breasts. He finds that their is a lump. While there Marla notices that he has the same kiss mark on his hand as she does from the chemicals Tyler uses to make his soap. Marla goes to a dumpy clinic because she doesn't have any health insurance, she feels depressed by all the mothers and their children who are extremely ill. She decides to leave because she doesn't want to know when she is going to die. A detective calls the narrator and asks him questions. The detective explained how they could tell the dynamite was homeade and how the bolt was shattered. The narrator tells the detective he did not leave the gas on and then leave town. The detective said it would take days for the gas to reach the compressor's motor to set off an explosion. He asked the narrator if he knew anyone who could make homeade explosives and the narrator lied and said no. The conversation ended with the detective saying don't leave town to the narrator.

Fight Club Entry #2

The narrators house is blown up, by what the police believe to be a gas leak. All that remains is his furniture. He has no where to live, so he turns to Tyler and asks Tyler if he can live with him. His boss runs his microsoft presentation because he has a black eye and swollen face and is constantly swallowing blood. The narrator explains the rules of fight club. The first is you don't talk about fight club. The second is you don't talk about fight club. The only time fight club even exists is between the hours that fight club starts and ends. They have the fight club in the basement of a bar after it closes on saturday night, once a week. It seems as if every week more and more people are coming. Tyler also makes another rule that if it's your first time at fight club you must fight. It runs from 2am till 7am on sunday. When someone says stop, the fight is over. Most people come to the fight club because they have something theyre to scared to fight. The narrator learns that Tyler has met Marla singer and that they had sex. The narrator on the other hand keeps having dreams that he is humping Marla. When Tyler hears his and Marla's conversation he thinks that she is really talking about committing suicide and calls the police over to her appartment. Marla and Tyler sneak out of her appartment before the police get to it. Tyler shows the narrator how to make soap and with the strong chemicals used he burns the back of his hand and wants him to feel the pain. Tyler also explains how lye can be used to make nitroglycerin explosives. Tyler urinates in the soup that everyone is about to eat at the banquet. He talks about how many whales were killed to make madame's million perfumes she has sitting in the bathroom. Madame seems to be convinced that a waiter had gone off to a restricted part of the house with a women guest but does not know who it is. Tyler doesn't seem to be worried about being fired from his waiting job because he thinks its a crappy job and he would be better off anyways. After running out of ideas to do stuff to peoples food the two want to find a way to get the hepititis bug from the medical waste to put in someones food. I think Tylers character is becoming more vivid as I progress through the book. The chapters seem to be a little on the confusing side yet becoming more clear as I read.

The book opens with the narrator having a gun stuck in his mouth by Tyler. They talk about the first step to reaching eternal life is death. The building theyre standing on is wired with bombs and each floor's windows blow floor by floor. The narrator being tied down with a gun in his mouth is all about a love triangle between the narrator, Tyler, and Marla. The narrator goes to a different support group every night of the week, even though he has nothing wrong with himself. This is where he meets Marla. He beleives that Marla is also a faker just like him and she doesn't have anything wrong with her either. They share to each other that going to the groups are the only thing that makes them feel alive. I am still a little confused on the introduction of this book because it seems like I won't understand the intro until further reading into the book. The narrator finds comfort from going to the support groups and meets a girl name Marla who attracts him. The book makes it seem like the narrator isn't really intrested in much and is stuck in his daily boring life. The narrator wants us to see his emptiness of his life.
