    The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

    “I’ve changed a bit since high school. Back then I said no to using and selling drugs. I washed on a normal basis and still had good credit.”

    Introducing Laurie Notaro, the leader of the Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club. Every day she fearlessly rises from bed to defeat the evil machinations of dolts, dimwits, and creepy boyfriends—and that’s before she even puts on a bra.

    The misadventures of Laurie and her fellow Idiot Girls (“too cool to be in the Smart Group”) unfold in a world that everyone will recognize but no one has ever described so hilariously. She delivers the goods: life as we all know it.

    Fight Club: A Novel
    ⭐ Reader Recommended ⭐
    Over 1,000 5-Star Reviews!

    The first rule about fight club is you don’t talk about fight club.

    In his debut novel, Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist.

    Every weekend, in the basements and parking lots of bars across the country, young men with whitecollar jobs and failed lives take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded just as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything. Fight club is the invention of Tyler Durden, projectionist, waiter, and dark, anarchic genius, and it’s only the beginning of his plans for violent revenge on an empty consumer-culture world.

    A gloriously original work that exposes what is at the core of our modern world.
