Anyone read the book "American Psycho" [View all]
I originally read it years ago, only because of the big stink about it. Anything that any group tells me I shouldn't read/watch/listen to, sorry, I have to experience it myself and make up my own mind.
The book is repulsive and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The murder scenes in the book are very hard to take.
Anyways, about 15-20 years later I decided to re-read it. Still repulsive, still very hard to take.
On the other hand, I can see much more so today than when I first read it, the book giving a look into the 1%, republican mind set. If you're not in the wealthy, 1%, you don't matter, if you're homeless you should just get a job, if you're wealthy, you can pretty much do whatever you want.
I kept picturing the main character, Patrick Bateman, looking like an Eric Cantor.
