Book 6: Lullaby

I will be starting 'Lullaby' by Chuck Palahniuk today. This is the story of a reporter who is writing up a story about SIDs cases. The reporter discovers that some parents had been singing a culling song to some of the child victims before bed. The culling song is a type of African lullaby that is known to give a painless death to the old. The parents who were simply reading their children a lullaby were actually accidentally killing them. He begins a quest to put this song to rest and save the nation of accidental disaster. Palahnuik is known to have a weird twist on humor, and I really enjoyed Fight Club, so I'm interested to try another one of his books.
