IF you cant stomach American Psycho I could understand. I read it twice..The descriptions are disgusting but very apt for the point the novelist is trying to make. The chapters on the Music that the protagonist likes are amazingly funny, Ellis makes one think that Huey Lewis and the News and Whitney Houston are on par with Duke Ellington and Mozart. Very funny chapters indeed-those pertaining to music that is-.
[ber) and told me they would distract me from my overheated misery. to be honest i only accepted them to be polite, but i was agreeably surprised.
also,
"American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis (although this is mainly because i am a delicate flower and couldn't stomach the graphic descriptions of violence
). another book which was assigned for a class. caveat, i am judging this book without having read it through : i tried, honestly, but when i got to the description (not very far in...) of the knife to the cornea my stomach turned over so strongly that i decided life was much too short to inflict any more of that on myself and told my prof that i would be out ill (never was an excuse so apt) for the discussion of that book.[/QUOTE]
