I've only read Choke and can't say I was a big fan of it...Survivor sounds interesting though, I'll have to look for it...
And that Survivor thing sounds funny, haven't seen it but sounds funny. My friend is a radio DJ and Survivor did a free concert a week ago, so he had them in and they did that to one of the DJs names on the air. They should just sell custom recordings of them chanting people's names to that song, they might finally get rich....
