/lit/ - Literature

Better murders, more of them.

Whole chapters dedicated to Cyndi Lauper, his ties, shoelaces, et cetera.

& then there are weird bits where he starts freaking his shit.

Good book, but fuck me parts of it are difficult to drag yourself through.
There's HUGE diatribes he gives on mundane coprorate life such as people suits, shirts, tailors, choice in drinks and food, apartment decoration...

They seem to drag on forever before the book gets interesting, but it's worth it.

As far as movie covers for books go, that's probably the best i've seen.

I still wouldn't buy it.

Pretty good stuff. More intense graphic murders, very descriptive. You also get insight on the 80s yuppy life and a lot of it is spent talking about brands and suit. And a real hit or miss book. It's laid out quite nicely though.

This is like the 50'th time I've seen American Psycho crop up on /lit/ --- It has got to be a samefag.

That's the point, though. It's reflecting the banality and repetition of yuppy-New York in the 80s

Material that was shocking and controversial perhaps twenty years ago

He also spends entire chapters critiquing music, like Huey Lewis and the News

I know, I get that it's the whole point but it's just difficult to be arsed slogging through at times.

Better than the movie. It's funnier.

That's not bashing the movie though. Bale was absolutely perfect.

Here you go. Now take a seat so everyone else can talk about a book they enjoy.

Does it run in sequence or is it just event after event in a random order?

If all the shit was in a random order, it wouldn't be a very good book.

It's an excellent book.
