If you’re going to read this, don’t bother.
After a couple pages, you won’t want to be here. So forget it. Go away. Get out while you’re still in one piece.
Save yourself.
This is how Palahniuk’s Choke begins. It is a fair warning. Having never read any of his works before, I decided to begin with this one based on positive reviews from friends of mine. But I’ve also heard some downright nasty opinions of this book as well. Suffice it to say that this is not for everyone.

3. Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad 110 pg

9. The Missionary Position; Mother Teresa in theory and practice Christopher Hitchens 98pg
10. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass Lewis Carol 327pg
11. The Revenge of Gaia James Lovelock 204pg
This book should be read by everybody, and especially environmentalists. I have avoided Lovelock in the past because all I knew of "Gaia theory" was the usage by New Agers, who it turns out have obviously never read Lovelock's work and don't understand the term at all - which is hardly surprising I guess. He does use a lot of annoying metaphors and personifications, although freely concedes that they are metaphors and that they will annoy scientists, but he's also so good at presenting facts and making rational arguments. Although I need to do more research, I think reading this book has convinced me that nuclear power is a good thing - which is a fairly massive change of mind for me. Highly recommended.

10. Zakazane po legalu, Dorota Szczepańska, 270pgs
I have no idea how to translate it into English. I got this book by accident. It's a story of a few days of young Polish girl's life. She is addicted to drugs, dance and sex and have tons of thoughts. The main one which is still repeated during the book is that drugs are cool and alcohol and cigarettes which are legal aren't cool. It's good the book weren't that long because it started to be boring a little bit after a half of it. The ending was surprising.
