I'm quite a fan of The Rules of Attraction most of all. All that emptiness and angst and mindless dismissal of other people... - sometimes being at university did feel like that - as if everyone was competing to be the most "angsty" - I think that's what I particularly liked about TRoA. Also I love Donna Tartt's The Secret History and the same characters pop up in the background of both books which is cool. I believe Tartt and Eliis went to the same college.


Bret Easton Ellis = a very talented writer with characters I just can't care
about, which makes for a strange reading experience. (And I'm not just
talking about "American Psycho" here.)
