My apologies for inundation of Chuck Palahniuk threads.  Chuck\'s latest book is released on May 20th.

Quote
"Six hundred dudes. One porn queen. A world record for the ages. A must-have movie for every discerning collector of things erotic."

"Didn\'t one of us on purpose set out to make a snuff movie."

Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. SNUFF unfolds from the perspectives of Mr. 72, Mr. 137, and Mr. 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny, and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly, and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?

I finally read this a couple of weeks ago.  Very quick read.  I would have to say out of all of his books, this one is at the bottom of my list though.  I did enjoy it, same Chuck style as his other books.  Just kinda seemed to be lacking something.
