I might be wrong about this, but I thought that happened to the boy in the first book? In the kitchen scene?
I have to add "Absurdistan" to this list. As someone who's really interested in globalization and current events, I was incredibly disappointed by this book. It becomes a few hundred pages of descriptions of a grotesquely fat man having intercourse and talking about his private parts [I could go into details, but I'll spare you all]. That, coupled with a pretty horrifyingly irresponsible and unrealistic [yet inexplicably tolerated] conspiracy theory and arrogant humor, makes for a pretty unpleasant book.
