Everything about me is bullshit. My alter ego, Tyler Durden, says beating each other up and exploding financial institutions will liberate us. We, I mean, I’ve gone too far. Hold my hand Marla.

My weekend trifextra challenge was retell your favorite book in only 33 words. Everyone knows how much I adore Fight Club. Here’s my 33 word version and a song by The Rolling Stones.

Nicely done, I’m not sure I have it in me to sum a favorite book up in 33. Congrats!
thanks for reading and commenting so quickly
You had me at “Fight Club.”
shhhhh, now everybody fights
That’s great! Raw and slick. And omg I haven’t heard this song forevah!
Happy friday.
when i read the book, the song jumped into my head. thank you.
Great job, Lance. As always. This post is all you.
thanks michele…it was too tempting to pass on
Yep all you…and done so well. Love your way with words.
thank you kir
Nice! ooh I like this game.
I have everything. Right? But Tom Buchanan was *born* with everything. Tom has Daisy. How can that make everything else I’ve accomplished seem like nothing? It’s not enough. I’m not enough. I’m nothing.

perfect…i almost did GG but FC was too tempting…well done
Love this. Really well done.
My niece (who is an EXCELLENT writer herself) interviewed Chuck Palahniuk for her college newspaper when “Tell All” came out. Check it out if you get a chance: http://smellslikesquanderedyouth.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-talk-to-chuck.html
Hey – you got to talk about Fight Club! Nice summary too…it’s all there
thanks libby
This is great – not a summary, a re-telling from a particular point of view. I love it.
thanks christine
The movie rocked, haven’t read the book, though. I’ve always said that Helena Bonham Carter should play me in a movie about my life. Which would probably be the most boring movie ever, which means it would probably win an Oscar.
i read the book before the movie because well you know, i’m a jerk like that.
it stays faihful.
Helena Carter is my wife’s fav actress…hmmmm
Love it.
thanks amelia
I love it! I’m a huge fan of Fight Club! BUT you advertising it like this….I think you forgot the first rule…
i think i got around it by calling it street fighting man…and thank you
I loved this, it was perfect. And looks right at home there next to that pic of Tyler. Nice song choice too. Amazing how well those Brits do the dirty South sound.
Thanks for playing. Come on back Monday for the big 33rd challenge, it’s going to be fun.
I think you should change Monday’s trifecta to Project Mayhem
It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen Fight Club, but you nailed it.
thanks mama
You knocked it in the teeth. Perfect.
thanks deb…Tyler Durden loves your comment, too.
Nice, Lance!
i thought you’d dig this, carrie.
