[American Psycho's Patrick] Bateman isn’t the first egomaniacal, homicidal narrator to have his own musical, and I hope he’s not the last, because I’d really like to see Hugh Jackman sing about defiling a pot of cream of mushroom soup. Palahniuk drops hints throughout the book that insomnia is not his narrator’s biggest problem. For one, we never get his name, but we get Tyler’s on page one.

Fight Club is among Jessica Soffer's ten best book endings, Sebastian Beaumont's top ten books about psychological journeys, and Pauline Melville's top ten revolutionary tales.
