American Psycho in its entirety and wish i had just stopped reading after the first few victim scenes, but didn't, altho i did stop reading Naked Lunch after the first two chapters or so, but i also did read all of Almost Transparent Blue, all of which are books not to be read while eating, so now i'm mulling over the concept, etymology and

After having watched the film, I am quite content for the first time in my life never to read the book it was based on.

Been flirting with a spate of U.S. historical fiction in flashback mode by an author named William Martin. If that strikes your curiosity, I recommend his work.

I almost bought Almost Transparent Blue yesterday ... but I didn't. Should I have?

I really liked American Psycho (the book much more so than the movie). When you get past the chewing-on-intestines, the girl-meatloaf, and the sewer-rats-inside-vaginas, and look at how intricately the character is crafted, I thought it was really well done.

Of course, I'm a pretty fucked-up guy ...

hmm, i think you'd like transparent blue, so you should give it a shot.
