Choke –Chuck Palahniuk

If Kurt Vonnegut had been a sex crazed psychopath, he might have written something like this.

Palahniuk wrote Fight Club, and this is most easily described as Fight Club for sex addicts. The story is pretty good with a damp-squid twist, but some of the set-pieces are utterly outrageous. The highlight for me was a mutual rape fantasy that descends into farce, I couldn't quite believe that he'd written it or that I was laughing at it.
