I've been reading a lot of Chuck Pahalniuk this year - Fight Club, Survivor, Haunted and Rant - and haven't read one yet that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Something I discovered after reading Haunted was that the opening short story (it's a book of short stories, about each of the characters in the main story), which is called "Guts" was often read to promote the book. Given the reported effects of these readings on its audience (causing people to pass out night after night), I wanted to hear it performed live. I found it on YouTube here (part 2 and part 3 follow on). Inhale. Take in as much air as you can. Have a listen, and tell me what you think.
