Story
Victor Mancini, a medical school dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised an ingenious scam: He pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be “saved” by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor’s life, go on to send checks to support him.

Story
In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior, for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.

Story
In 1979, a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known accepted military practice - and indeed, the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them. Entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries, they were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting the War on Terror.

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk is a novel made up of stories: 23 of them, to be precise. Twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you'll ever encounter, sometimes all at once. They are told by people who have answered an ad headlined "Writers' Retreat: Abandon Your Life for Three Months", and who are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of "real life" that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them.

Excellent novel excellently read
This was my first audiobook in over a year, I resubbed to Audible in hopes of kickstarting my reading for 2019 and Fight Club was the first one I came across that was on my TBR, which I also recently culled. So.
Fight Club is a book I have always meant to read, as the film is one of my favourites, as I'm sure is the case for many people. What struck me listening to this was how incredibly well the film captured the writing style of
Palahniuk - it is written in a very interesting, train-of-thought way which you don't come across very often. I haven't read any other boks of Chuck
Palahniuk's, so I don't know whether this is normal style, but I really enjoyed it. I have a new appreciation for how faithful the film was to the book.
It provides a very believable and, at times, cringeworthy insight into the mind of someone who has achieved all his meagre goals and has found his life wanting as a result, moreso than the film as we spend more time inside the protagonist's head in the text. I can't remember many points where the narrative wasn't consistently interrupted by the snarky voice in his head interjecting with non-sequiturs or observations, and it all felt very real to how people in that kind of situation would go through their days.
As for the audio, Single narrator (which is somewhat fitting), but lends a different voice to both the protagonist and Tyler, as well as other characters, without becoming caricatureish and painful. An intense performance, and very well done by Jim Colby. This would be a great first audiobook to recommend - not too long, and well produced. Probably tied with the Jurassic Park audiobook by Scott Brick for my favourite I've listened to so far.
I look forward to my next one, as my car rides feel somewhat empty without the Protagonist, Tyler and Marla's existensial ramblings filling my ears.

Too brief to build a great story.
It's a great story and well written but it lacks the length to really build the characters and let you get into it. The writers of the film have done the hard work and filled in those details for us. Having watched that first I was forced to rely on the film to carry the story and the characters. It's a shame as the writing is otherwise interesting and creative and the plot is revolutionary.

I feel like i was falling down psychological rabbit holes quite frequently listening to this. Some of the ideas, tangential thoughts, were things I had not comprehended before. It was interesting as a book. The ending shocked me.
