The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler

3.0

So, this book was written about three years after Fight Club, by interestingly, released in the same year that the movie was. While I'm sure the fake-out may have been done before Fight Club, it's the only example that came to mind. Don't really think I liked any of the characters, they were all a bit dense, and sort of flat. The drinking scenes in particular I found pretty disturbing as well, but I don't like visualizing a lack of mental control.
