How can you guys stand this? If this faggot points out one more piece of clothing I'm going to throw this book down a sewer.

Is the point of the book to make you insane?

The movie is decent, much like Fight Club, but the book sucks.

Should I even bother finishing reading it?

Thank you god. I'll stick with it.

The point of the clothing is that it's how Bateman sees the world. He doesn't understand people's emotions, thoughts and interactions, so when dealing with people, he thinks in fashion magazine articles and record reviews.

You can just skim the clothing stuff.

I actually enjoyed reading his clothing observations.

>> No.1192117

I actually picked this up a few months ago, and gave up around 90 pages in due to the clothing descriptions.

I started over earlier this week, and with 60 pages left to go.. I'm glad I did.

I did, too. Though I can see how some people might not.

i really enjoyed how he started making fun of the
midgets little suite but then ended up envieing him because he clearly had a superb taylor. the part about him cutting off his wrist and feet just to watch him craw around like an animal, i felt was a bit too cruel...as if little ppl don't have enough to deal with

get over it, it's not that annoying.

OP here, I think I'll keep reading simply because this line made me laugh so hard I squirted.

"Now what time should I be over?" Restaurant Whore asks."I said eight," I tell her, disgusted.
