Choke will no doubt be rated R and dark as all hell. One things that already annoys me about the trailer (which you can find on youtube) and articles that I've read about the movie is that they making it seem like Victor is a sex addict, which wasn't the case in the book. He used to go to their meetings to pick up addicted women, but I gathered it was because he was pretty lazy about it. I still think it will be one of the best dark comedies in years.
Then again, I read that book 5 or 6 years ago, so I may have to re-read it before the movie comes out.
Also, I started Rant over again and it has been much better than I thought the first time through. It's written as an oral history, so it's bascially a bunch of segments of interviews about this guy, Rant Casey. The cool thing is that Palahniuk has to create the voices of all these different interviewees and give their side of the story. I think it really shows his range as a writer.
And lastly, mredskins is right, Haunted was really good, but VERY twisted. Don't read it if you have a weak stomach or are easily offended.
