Lullaby, Chuck Palahniuk
I quite enjoyed this book - the concept of linking a 'culling song' to SIDS was clever; it tickled the parts of me that link mythology and science. The characters were definitely characitures of themselves; this amused rather than annoyed me. Russell and i spent a BART ride discussing it; R was quite annoyed by the book on a number of levels. We wound up agreeing to disagree on the matter. Weird - i just went looking for Palahniuk's website on Lullaby - he tells the story of why he wrote it, and his dad's murder. It's gone - i guess Random House took it down in the meantime. Nonethless, i would recommend Lullaby to you.
