you do seem to have a hard time with cultural matters.
You do know that it is widely taught and studied at university level? And is one of the most critically and academically revered novels of the 1990s? Maybe it went over your head a bit.

Edit

Assume you are referring to American Psycho? If not, I apologise in advance.

You do know that there are differing opinions
on the subjective worth of American Psycho? Just because a book is studied doesn't mean it's good or engaging. Buffy is studied as part of some courses in America. Doesn't mean it's a TV show which you have to enjoy.

I love American Psycho.
It is a perfectly executed satire which does very interesting things with the Body, the City, the Gothic, farce and vampires. To just dismiss it as 'utterly shite' is childish and philistine.

I clearly wasn't talking about American Psycho.
Now stop getting your knickers in a twist.

I second Ape's comment.
And how the fuck did you go from

"and am currently reading Glamorama for the first time in years.

It too is funny as fuck."

and me responding that it is a fucking shit book (because it is) to thinking I'm talking about American Psycho?

American Psycho is the only decent thing Ellis has written, he's almost as pretentious as you, but American Psycho works because of the pretentiousness of its subject matter.

I'm sorry Al, but because of this we can longer be friends on Facebook
I hope you understand.

Oh god. I can't believe this is happening.
I'm going to miss so much great stuff.

I got it wrong Al.
Can we still be friends?

And did you not like Less Than Zero? Surely his worst by a long long way is Lunar Park.

Then The Rules of Attraction.
