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.

You do know that there are differing opinionson 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.

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

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.

There's a world of difference between sandwich shop use of Mayo and your use of salad cream as a sauce base.Accept it, learn from it and move on.
