Pygmy
Chuck Palahniuk's newest novel, Pygmy, looks pretty interesting. His last few were not nearly as satisfying as Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Choke... but this one looks like a really engaging read. It's about a group of young people sent to various American towns from a totalitarian state, disguised as exchange students. They're meant to fit in, all the while planning random acts of terrorism parading as a science project called Operative Havoc. Narrated by a 13-year-old boy named Pygmy, the prose is often confusing, as Pygmy thinks in grammar-less sentences. A powerful, razor-sharp critique of American social, political and religious institutions, Pygmy may be Palahniuk's most riveting satire to date. Check it out on bn.com
