No one implied anything, it is the OP, and you made this thread entirely to be a dick. Go spend some time with your family. It's Easter.

The major problem with this novel on /lit/ is that it's fucking edgy teens who like it because they fetishize Bateman's aloofness. Whereas in reality, Bateman desperately wants to fit in despite his inability to. When edgy teens finally read the text properly, which will never happen, then /lit/ won't shit on it every time it's posted.

What if I like it because I feel a similar desperation and think neurotically about everything?
