I just read that another one of Chuck Palahniuk books is being made into a movie. After watching Fight Club, I naturally read the book (figures that it was almost a literal translation, with the exception that it ended slightly different), and then read most of Palahniuk's books. The new movie, Choke, is based on a book that if made into a movie in the same way Fight Club was, would be on par with the hardest of hardcore porn movies on the market today. It would be very interesting to see how they capture the spirit and message of the book without, you know, the graphic sex acts.
Spoiler alert: Near the end of the book one of the characters has to go to the hospital because some anal beads got stuck and they were obstructing his digestion. So, you know, it's a little different from Meatloaf having cancer.
For anyone who hasn't read Choke, I'd highly recommend it (along with other Palahniuk books like Survivor and Invisible Monsters). It's a little bit to stomache, but if you got through Fight Club you shouldn't have much of a problem with Choke.
