A few weeks ago, some anon posted one of those "describe yourself in greentext and recommend books to other anons" thread. I posted something brief about my life

>21 year old male
>About to enter last year of college
>Very unsure about what to do with life

And one anon recommended I read pic related, which I finished last night.I really liked it, much more than I thought I would -- I found Clay oddly relatable, and thought Ellis really hit the nail on the head in that the problem with society right now is that we've raised an entire generation of people who lack any purpose in life, who don't even know why they do what they do, and only seek hedonistic pleasures -- it's odd to think the book was written in the 80s.

Those of you who have read it, what'd you think? Is the sequel (Imperial Bedrooms) worth reading? I'm leaning towards buying it.

Also general book recommendation thread, if there's anything people have read recently that really struck a cord with them but isn't official /lit/ cannon
