Welcome to Litsy!

Palahniuk is one of my favorite writers, his skill at scathing satire is virtually unmatched. I adore the original FIGHT CLUB. The comic format works for this sequel in bringing the absurdity to the forefront, something the seriousness of the original lost in translation to film.
Picking up ten years later, our protagonist and Marla have a precocious child and a troubled marriage. Most of this story is top notch until the unfortunate meta ending.

I took a quick break to clean out the closet for the water heater to work. But yeah... I read this basically in one sitting :)

So.. Wow! I am so glad that I had found this book. It was so great to revisit these characters. And to see Tyler all “grown up“. Beautiful artwork too. Graphic novels inspire me to re-visit painting but.. its the set up that I cant/don't have room for right now. Anyway ... It is a must read!

Picking this one up today. Read the first book years ago (loved it) considering rewatching the movie first then reading this one :) #JustAnotherGraphicMonday

This is one of those tag things on Instagram stories but I just had to share it here too! The blank template is on the Quirk Books Instagram page if you'd like it!

Wow. I expected this to be absolutely insane and it lived up to that and then some. Palahniuk is a genius. His works always leave me floored and thinking about the endings for a long time. This one is definitely no different. That ending. Brilliant. #catsoflitsy #comic

Excited to start this one. I read the first couple issues and then just stopped getting around to the comic shop. Glad to have it in graphic novel form now. I enjoyed the first two issues and Fight Club is one of my favorite movies/books of all time. #comic

I know this didn‘t great reviews, but I actually liked it for the most part. Some of it was a little much, but I enjoyed the artwork and the storyline. It was fun to see another part of the story and the characters.

This seems to be some kind of graphic novel/comic series? I know @Cinfhen won‘t be reading it, but have you seen it @britt_brooke ? It‘s on sale for $2.99 on Kindle. #90sSpringFling

Well... 🤔... not sure about this one.

Was it just your usual Palahniuk or do I not know how to read graphic novels properly (which is possible, I don‘t read them often).

There were parts where I was super into it and parts where I was super lost 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm a big fan of Palahniuk's early stuff, and when I saw this, I couldn't help myself.

The artwork is really well done. We get to revisit many of the original characters. The story feels too disjointed for me. Granted I figured there be a bit of that, but some parts are too out there for me to justify the connection to the story.

I didn't love it; I didn't hate it. I'm just Meh...now I want to re-read the original and see how it holds up.

Returning to this world and these characters is something I was looking forward to, but there‘s a lot unexpected here. The revelation of Durden‘s origin and motivation is classic Palahniuk, reminiscent of Rant. This story has parallels to the original, sort of flipped, so that is a nod that was fun to follow. Lots of writing that you come to this looking for, quick one liners and retorts you wish you could have come up with. That ending, though...

Finally getting back to this one after 2 years. Palahniuk‘s mind is a beautifully terrible place to explore.

Flew through this and was absolutely blown away. Quite impressed with the intricacies of the illustrations . I never thought I‘d be able to follow up with these characters so many years later. Had one of the most amazing and twisted endings I‘ve ever read .

Was reading over the shoulder of @BookBee89 this afternoon... Will have to give this one a proper read later in the week!

This is my first quote and readathon. I‘m loving litsy already and I hope everyone is having a kick ass long weekend 😅

#letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

Well...I really enjoyed the chapter art. And the beginning had me excited to keep reading. But honestly I didn't love it at all. Ah well.

"It's rather like your right and left brains are playing chess against one another."

Movie please?

How am I am supposed to read now?

Throughout childhood people tell you to be less sensitive. Adulthood begins the moment someone tells you, 'You need to be more sensitive.'

Inspiration comes to those who show themselves ready to act upon it. The people who daily use every invitation to express, to communicate. They will become lightning rods which both attract ideas and conduct them for useful purpose.

Only the most unrefined sources will yield the raw material for new ideas. You must train yourself as someone ready to record. Identify patterns, even though their elements might occur years apart. Piece together these fragments until they convey an unmistakeable message.

#ReadJanuary One of my favorite authors! #Signed Meeting him was the highlight of my #2016

Palahniuk is a drug. Every now and then, you need a quick hit of his surreal world... I'm so glad Tyler Durden is back. This is one imaginary friend you DO NOT want in your life. Or maybe you do... Depends.

I crammed all of my errands, including Christmas shopping, into yesterday so I'd have the rest of the weekend to read. To reward myself for dealing with crowded stores, I made time for trips to the library and B&N.

I plan to finish The Naturals today, so I had to get the next book in the series. A Map of Betrayal and Family Furnishings were both in the bargain section! I'm also super excited to find out what happens in Paper Girls vol. 2!

Finally actually getting through this one. My moods have been rather rollarcoaster lately. Seems quite prominent to many things going on currently. It also shows some crazy bravery against out biggest enemy, ourselves. #novemberland #bravecharacters #projectmayhem #muchlove #sebatian #globalanarchy

#bookstack from last month's haul. Still haven't started any of them yet!!!

I kind of hated it. 💁 I didn't like the author putting himself in the story. I didn't like the forced plot that always felt stretched and thin. The artwork was perfectly fine; the chapter art was quite beautiful. But overall this felt like unnecessary fan service and try-hard intellectualism. I'm over Tyler Durden and Fight Club's whole attitude about modern masculinity. Do not recommend.

Fight Club 2: more bitching about the state of white masculinity. So far this sequel isn't offering me anything to make it new or worthwhile.

My evening plans! Didn't realize Fight Club 2 came out already. I remember when it was still a rumor in a dirty magazine a friend had. Haha. As well as my new fat stack of books from the library, with a cold brew. As my bf plays video games. Nothing better I tell ya. 😌😍💙💚 #muchlove #booktober

So, so, so disappointed. I was really looking forward to this, but it was just crap 💩

I'm really struggling with this. Perhaps I'm just not a graphic novel person.

I'm starting to get into the groove now

Taking that 4th wall to new places #intylerwetrust #rizeordie

👊🏽

This is out there 🤔

Look what I got today! ❤️

Ordered this online today. Hurry up already!! 👊🏽👊🏽

Fight club

Odd and sickly delightful.

Ever decide to read at your neighborhood B&N then, flash-forward to too much money spent later and you've logged zero reading hours? However, you're halfway to your daily step count? Yea, me neither...#24in48 #fitbitlife

This seems to be an extended exercise in self indulgent and convoluted wtf-ery. I don't even know. It was a wild ride even though it took forever to get anywhere and you're not even sure why you went to begin with. Ah well. They can't all be winners in #24in48

@Litsy needs a ??? Button for reviews cuz nothing else fits. Seriously, WTF did I just read? It wasn't bad & I didn't hate it. I was just confused...which is saying something cuz I've read/written about metaphysics! 😳

I will say I'm glad I read it. What I did understand I enjoyed & the artwork was great (minus covering words). I got over wanting to punch Marla, so that's good cuz I like her.

Rating pick cuz maybe you can help me figure it out.
