| -HAPPY FUN TIME- | I also love Rant. :3 Chuck's new book Pygmy comes out next year. ![]() Product Description: “Begins here first account of operative me, agent number 67 on arrival midwestern American airport greater _____ area. Flight _____. Date _____. Priority mission top success to complete. Code name: Operation Havoc.” Thus speaks Pygmy, one of a handful of young adults from a totalitarian state sent to the United States, disguised as exchange students, to live with typical American families and blend in, all the while planning an unspecified act of massive terrorism. Palahniuk depicts Midwestern life through the eyes of this thoroughly indoctrinated little killer, who hates us with a passion, in this cunning double-edged satire of an American xenophobia that might, in fact, be completely justified. For Pygmy and his fellow operatives are cooking up something big, something truly awful, that will bring this big dumb country and its fat dumb inhabitants to their knees. It's a comedy. |

| Divinido Le Aesthetico | Finished Diary the other day. Talk about tedium and a half. So I've finished Fight Club, Diary, and Choke. Thinking of either Lullaby or Invisible Monsters next. |

| Does it make you proud? | Why is the DVD of Choke so expensive?! I just want to watch it so I can laugh as it fails to accurately follow the book but I'm not paying £20 for it!! |
