Palahniuk has always been in a Mexican stand-off with Hunter S. Thompson for the title of my favorite writer.
Choke is probably my favorite. I remember a few years back, rumor was that Darren Aronofsky, one of my favorite directors, was set to direct it. But that pretty much fell apart when Aronofsky went on to direct The Fountain, from what I understand.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
