I loaned my copy of this book (acquired circa 1988) to an acquaintance who never returned it--long enough ago that I hold out no hope for its eventual recovery. It is profoundly unsurprising that a book so incisively anti-authoritarian should refuse to behave like property. I only hope the fellow read it and sent it further along. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Those on the receiving end of coercion don't quibble over their coercers' credentials. If you can't pay or don't want to, you don't much care if your deprivation is called larceny or taxation or restitution or rent."
"If you like to control your own time, you distinguish employment from enslavement only in degree and duration."
"Terrorism is not so much a matter of mayhem and murder as it is of sartorial correctness. Soldiers are terrorists who were careful to dress for success."
"BLOOD BANK? Is there any other kind?"
"THE BORN AGAIN? Twice too often."
"CIVILIZATION? The biosphere's skin disease."
"CLASS WAR? The war to end all wars."
"DISEASE? Very dangerous: a leading cause of doctors."
"FEMINISM? Equality with men: a paltry ambition."
"FREE TIME? Work the boss doesn't pay you for."
"FULL EMPLOYMENT? A threat, not a promise."
"RELIGION? Deifying your defects."
"UTOPIA? Nostalgia for the future."
As always with Black, there is a bit of content in this anthology which I don't really care much about, but it is insignificant overall.
I think it is safe to say that Bob Black is as close to channeling Tyler Durden as any living person can claim to be, except he's funnier and more logical--maybe he was Palaniuk's inspiration.
