Choke by Chuck Palahniuk

For my book, I read Choke by Chuck Palahniuk, the author of Fight Club. This was reccomended to me by a friend who has read most of Chuck Palahniuk's books, and had an understanding that I would appreciate the type of writing. The storyline in Choke was about a boy who had a rough childhood. His Mother was in and out of jail, and kidnapped him each time she returned. As he grew into an adult, his mother got sick and he put her in a nursing home to take care of her. While working in an 18th century toursite for children, he went to daily meeting for being a sexaholic. While these meetings were suppose to do him good, he only went to find girls that would have sex with him more easily. Frequently, he would choke in different restaurants to purposely have someone save him. He had many reasonings in this, and was a very intelligent thinker. The writing was in a sarcastic tone mostly the entire time, which made it much more appealing to me. I would definitely reccomend this book to anyone that likes a laugh while learning a more valuable lesson as well.
