Welcome to Litsy!

I first read this in 2009. With this 2025 re-read, I'm struck by how GenX this novel is: disillusion with/suspicion of consumerism, a desire for real experiences, a sense of impending doom not recognized by those in power, a desire for community if for no other reason than to have people to have a beer with while we watched the world burn. 2025 turns out to be a great time for a re-read and a reminder that stability isn't a given.

1. Hm, several things, but mostly the political BS.

2. Tagged + the movie Office Space

I didn't care for it. It was confusing and way over my head with the dialogue throughout the book.

I‘ve been wanting to watch the movie forever but figured I‘d read the book first. After only 45 minutes in & I really have no idea why. #Next

The worst job in the whole world must be recycling toilet paper.

Darkly satirical, macho, and dogmatic comes anarchy personified, Tyler Durden, raging against consumer culture and class stratification with napoleonic savagery. Mindless, respectable drones become mutinous guerillas amongst sardonic undertones and hypnotic prose. I had zero expectations when I chose this book, having not seen the film, and was promptly knocked off my feet. Mind blown. Excuse me while I collect my jaw off the floor. Incredible!
