I want to read Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club and Choke, his new novel. You remember Fight Club, the David Fincher movie starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton about an insomniac revolutionary who starts going to support groups to get to sleep, only to discover a new channel for his displaced rage in clubs where men fight each other for fun. Well, Choke is along those same lines, about a guy who goes to support groups for sex addicts to fulfill their fantasies in the room across the hall. For work, he chokes in restaurants and lives off the money sent to him by those who felt sorry enough to "save" him.
