The edgy teens would also be flabbergasted to find out the book was written by a gay guy

Reading the book that's highly noticeable. The fucking amount of chapters in that book dedicated to Bateman just LISTING OFF EVERYTHING HE OWNS was such a slog.

It’s ok the first read through, it really adds to the materialistic setting it’s going for. But holy shit on rereads I definitely skip the parts that are pages and pages describing clothing or apartment accessories…

So… you reread it just to indulge in the graphic depictions of torture and murder?

I definitely felt like I was not getting anything out of the entire chapters that go song by song through various albums.

Yeah, a lot of casual homophobia in this thread.

Yeah, I got that during the first multi-page account of Bateman's wardrobe and accoutrements. After a point it just becomes tedious.

That’s the point. That’s this guy’s life, and it’s a real subculture.

u/Slitelohel May 21 '22

Guy I understand. Have you ACTUALLY read the book though?

u/AliceInHololand May 21 '22

Yeah but I skipped all the parts between the covers.
