Fight Club Entry #1

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.
