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.
I want to research Martin Buber's I and Thou manuscript.This might be part of the text. This looks like a picture of Buber. This is the Amazon link to the book. I read in a Silicon Valley newspaper in November that a professor of that area is going to study Buber's I and Thou and publish a contemporary critique. I don't know when and I don't remember his name, but I want to buy it.
Also, check out this lecture transcript. It was sent to me by an Indian friend. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the concepts are similar to Buber's.
More books: Working on Yourself Doesn't Work, Wild Mind (may be kooky, but could be a good library book, Passionate, Accurate Story, Stein on Writing.
