CHOKE

Recently added to the "big list of books that which we've read" (name still being worked on), is Chuck Palaniuk's novel, Choke. It's a quick read to say the least. The first aspect of the book most will notice is it's outright vulgar content, not to say that one wouldn't be fascinated and entertained by the gruesome exactness of detail that which Palanhiuk employs.

The story's told through the eyes of Victor Mancini, a college med school drop-out. He struggles with a bullshit job and uses desperate measures to keep his mother in the hospital and himself barely eating. Soon he finds himself distraught and caught in an existence which he can't escape and knows very little about to begin with.

Palanhiuk's words are amazingly strung together, he utilizes a style of writing all unto it's own, looking similar to combination of medical text-book diction and psychosis. All in all, one can appreciate the frighteningly real description of the world, the one that few have the courage to reveal to others, the world that many know but few talk about.

Soone we'll see the movie. I heard it was ok.
