Is Chuck Palahniuk’s Guts the most disturbing short story ever? asked Saturday’s Guardian.

Um, yes.

Was it good? I haven't read it. And have you read Diary yet?

Yes - I could have gotten through life without that bottom-of-the-pool nightmare scene, let alone anything else. I finished it and put the paper down and instructed the beloved and parents "Do Not Read That. Don't even think of reading it."

I just mailed Silverhawk with the info that the Indy is doing their 'Your Questions Please' on Chuck Palahniuk in two Thursday's time. You can e-mail questions in at
myquestions@independent.co.uk. They pick about a dozen to be answered.

It took me right back to my early teenage when I read the whole output of James Herriot. I never forgot the story of the cow with the prolapsed uterus, and that was just a uterus! Eurghhhh... It drives you do your pelvic floor exercises though!

Okay, not-so-famous link here: James Herriot's son Jimmy used to be our vet and his daughter Rosie was my doctor. We still use the phase 'womiting bad' [pace a famous farmer with his pukey dog] whenever les enfants have a gastric bug.

In an odd way, it was funny and gross at the same time. I think especially the ending.
