I saw the movie when it came out, and I liked it, but it didn't talk to me then. I think perhaps I was still too young to appreciate it fully. The book moved me in a way the movie didn't, and couldn't. It spoke to me, it reflected my disdain with hollow consumerist culture and the pointless chase of money for money's sake.
Fight Club really was the first book I ever related to on an intensely personal level, and that even changed my whole outlook on life.
