i am a rabid fan of both tool and chuck palahniuk..

the one thing you forgot to mention, which is the most striking connection is that the book fight club and the album ænima were both released in the same year, 1996.

so rather than either one directly influincing the other i say that they both reflect the collective unconscious of the time. the zeitgeist if you will.

i actually wrote a rather apocolyptic poem once that had a lot to do with tyler's vision of a perfect world (imagine yourself stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of rockerfeller center) and i just remebered i threw a maynard quote in there.
