Fight club by Chuck Palahniuk

I liked the movie, so started reading the book.

This book and Joker character in The Dark Knight have similar affect on me. Both propagate the idea is chaos.

An insomnia patient, develops a split personality. The newly born personality forms fight club where people come to fight with each other. Not to settle scores, but to feel good. As the club grows in to pan-America, the new personality launches " project mayhem" , which is aimed at creating chaos, to end this civilization so that mankind can start from scratch again. Our guy realizes that he has a second personality, which uses his body when he fell asleep. He wants to kill himself to save the world from his other personality but fails. And project mayhem continues.

It's been a very long time I have seen the movie. So I could spot the differences between movie and the book. According to me, it's not a must-read book, but it won't disappoint.
