My book is a classy one, the actual name is Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. As of right now, i don't even know if the book is a true story or a collection of thoughts from many different authors, all going to the same secluded island for three months. What I have encountered is there is no topic off the chart, every thing under the great blue sky can be analyzed. As for the beginning it starts with how the characthers, never called by there real names, are introduced to the story as they enter the bus to the island.
Well I have not read that much of book so far, but its possible capablities are amazing. the first short story deals with how chuck meets his co-stars in the book. Which is followed by a completely different story from "Gut-Free" about dangers of using yourself like an amusement park.

Dan, maybe this will help. It's from Amazon.

Haunted is a novel made up of twenty-three horrifying, hilarious, and stomach-churning stories. They’re told by people who have answered an ad for a writer’s retreat and unwittingly joined a “Survivor”-like scenario where the host withholds heat, power, and food. As the storytellers grow more desperate, their tales become more extreme, and they ruthlessly plot to make themselves the hero of the reality show that will surely be made from their plight. This is one of the most disturbing and outrageous books you’ll ever read, one that could only come from the mind of Chuck Palahniuk.

Using yourself like an amusement park, eh? Seinfeld reference?
