If I am not mistaken, this is the plot (albiet tweak slightly) of Fight Club. I was wondering what your motivation was for the rewrite?

I didn't see all that much of the movie but I thought that it was a great film. I know however that some countries don't have it or some people aren't able to see it so I made this story. I also thought it would make for a good read. I forgot however, to write that it was a tribute to the film, so I just want people to know that I am not taking any credit for this. To answer more simply, I loved the film. And I had free time.

But you know it's already based on a book, right, Mike?
Yes, as a matter of fact I did, but are you going to read that? Of all the books where you live. Will you read that? Besides some people haven't heard of the book. I just tried to make it bite sized. And eveyone prefers bitesized. :) (Besides, my writing is bad enough, people should at least get a good read)

I didn't read the book, but I have watched the movie a few times. I think you have done a pretty good job, there are some nice images in there - for me I liked the smell of the drought. I live in England now, and it just doesn't smell the same here. Maybe next time, put a blurb at the bottom. :)
It's a weird, and yet, strangely acceptable reason for writing something, in my opinion. A bit-sized version of something. Hmm!
DOn't worry I won't forget next time Lisa.
