I listened to Choke during a road trip to Nebraska and it stuck with me for days afterwards. Our protagonist, Victor Mancini, is a sex addicted med-school dropout turned con-artist with a heart of gold. This is one of those stories where it's hard not to root for the bad guy. Choke is a profoundly dark comedy with a slightly odd/slightly humorous twist. It begs the question, "what would Jesus not do?"
