... Miller. I'm not really one for confrontational, in your face literature. (For that reason I would never choose to read American Psycho). I love books that explore sorrow, and human suffering, and human addiction very much, but I'm not so fond of graphic descriptions of sexual crime and ...

... by Stephen King. It's in like-new condition, so I'm guessing it's a real page-turner! From a Scotland BookMooch, American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. One more to tick off the 1001 list. I also got my ARC of The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher by Kate Summerscale. It looks very nice ...

... that moron Neil Cavuto on Fox News (BTW: Cavuto is wrong. Psycho came out when Eisenhower, a Republican was in office. But what do you expect from Fox news?)

... had read Rebecca but ended up buying a lot of other books because of the essay's in this one. Two that spring to mind are American Psycho and Lolita. I went the other way around with Wide Sargasso Sea and Jane Eyre in that order and enjoyed both. And if I read a book or author I ...

I actually finished American Psycho for the first time, and I'm not entirely sure what my impressions are. I thought that Ellis did a nice job exploring the concepts of materialism, conformity, and identity, but the graphic violence and pornographic sex were sometimes a bit much for me, and this ...

... rest of the series! One of the best books I've read in a LONG TIME, in terms of pure enjoyment! Right now, I'm starting American Psycho again, so hopefully I'll be able to make it all the way through this time. After American Psycho, I think I'll start in on Meg by Steve Alten (I've read ...

I have read American Psycho. Very disturbing book. How about Less Than Zero, by the same author?

I've read Cannery Row. American Psycho, anyone?

... flies over the head of a 10 year old. I definitely agree that parents should keep an eye on what their kids are reading-- American Psycho is an extreme example, but there are a lot of books that have very mature themes and images that kids aren't ready to handle. As a parent, you are the best ...

30. American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

I agree with everyone who has mentioned American Psycho in this thread, although I am planning on trying to read it again, now that I can better appreciate and understand the satire in the movie. But I remember being so horrified by the violence and graphic pornographic sex that I had to return ...

... It's up to individual parents to set limitations for their own children. I would strongly object to my son reading American Psycho, The Turner Diaries, or Trainspotting before he was 15 or so. But I would never dream of saying your kid can't read them.

On American Psycho- I agree with Scratch that you obviously have to expect a fairly high level of violence going into a book about a crazy murderer. That said, I too was taken aback by the explicitness of some of the scenes. I read this while living in New York, and it got so bad that I didn't ...

... Flies and All Quiet on the Western Front when I finish them. And I am now on the lookout for both Must Love Dogs and American Psycho. Not having read the book, I don't know if you'll like Dogs. But, I did. I am a John Cusack fan and the movie had a quirky feel to it. Perhaps the book ...

... Must Love Dogs was pretty funny. I thought the part about the navel piercing was hilarious. I haven't seen the film yet. American Psycho was one of those books you don't forget easily. It was much nastier than the film, but still kept you guessing as to whether or not he was fantasizing. ...

... I didn't expect to enjoy it quite so much. Was Must Love Dogs any good? I enjoyed the movie. Same question for American Psycho. I really liked the movie because it set you up to question whether he was fantasizing or really comitting all of the crimes. I loved Deliverance. Aft ...

>283, Angel, I agree completely. For example, I thought American Psycho was a great book, but it was incredibly disturbing. But if it was a warm fuzzy story or if the violence and gore was toned down, I don't think it would have had such an impact on me or other readers. The movie scaled down ...

#26: Scratch, have you read American Psycho? If you have and you know of a more violent novel, I would like to know what it is. I have read a number of books featuring serial killers: The Collector, The Killer Inside Me, Felicia's Journey and Silence of the Lambs to name a few. Compar ...

I got very grumbly about Patrick Bateman in American Psycho wearing two ties at the same time but then found out the author meant to do that, so I take the grumble back. I didn't like the end of Messiah the book. It surprised me as I had already seen Messiah the TV programme (with the very ...

Bibliobeck - you've agreed with me on one of my choices and I have to say that I agree with one of yours. American Psycho contains some vile images, it really does. I found it more disturbing for being very funny too.

American Psycho because, behind the blood and gore, it is brilliantly satirical and deeply moral. And very funny. So many people misinterpret this book.

Animal Farm, American Psycho and Amerika. Sorry, can't decide which I like best of those three...

I have to agree with the American Psycho post. It was an okay novel overall, but horribly violent, cruel and disgusting in parts. Quite possibly the most violent novel I have ever read. -- M1001

... since I sneaked my sister's copy during my teenage years and don't think I would again as I found it just horrific. Also American Psycho - especially his completely sociopathic thoughts that we are privy to during everyday social situations - just horrible! (Something awful about heads on ...

... are a few that I'm sure I can guess why they're on the list, but since i haven't read them, I won't suggest tags for. American Psycho: gore, graphic violence, rape, murder, dismemberment, rodents, violence against women Cobra Event: viruses, murder, violence against women, gore The ...

... "disturbing" for each person. It wouldn't have occurred to me to think of anything besides gory horror titles like American Psycho to nominate, but then I would be overlooking disturbing social situations or disturbing historical events. Individual tastes can sometimes be entertaining, ...

... by Poppy Brite, which is already noted. Wow. Finding out that I'm really quite a prude! Much more disturbing to me than American Psycho or Zombie...the necrophilia aspects are troubling to me, however, I'm managing to get through it. If nothing else, it's a fast read.

... of the depths a human being would stoop to that I couldn't read about him. I say that as someone who finished, and loved, American Psycho.

I love the dark aspects of some stories. The Sparrow as previously mentioned, of course, is hauntingly beautiful-sad. American Psycho is just dark in that dirty, grimy, serial killer kind of way. I really enjoyed it, but maybe that's my fascination with finding books that manage to express ...

... dragon, rather than a deep delve into a serial killer's psyche. Several other serial killer novels I've read, however, like American Psycho, make the SK seem more autistic than like a psychopath. The Dexter novels are fun, however, and I like them. The TV series, while good, could not ...

... (theater of the abomination anyone?), but afterwards I sort of wished I had. There were scenes from Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho that were ALMOST as disturbing... to give you an idea. (I liked American Psycho BTW). I could go on for hours about how weak Koontz is... but he seems ...

... That's also why I tend not to read horror novels. As I've mentioned before, it was very hard for me to get through American Psycho because of the extreemly graphic violence against women, and I had to skip a couple of chapters. I've booktalked it to a couple of patrons, giving them a ...

I'd have to say American Psycho. I think B. E. Ellis is very good, and I liked Lunar Park quite a lot, but AP was too much for me...

Hands down, American Psycho was the most disturbing book I've ever read. When I read it, I was working on a degree in forensic science, so I could perfectly picture everything happening and imagine working up the crime scene later, plus I'm a woman so some of the scenes were just WAY WAY too ...

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

29. Siddhartha Definitely lived up to its hype for me. Beautiful story. 30. American Psycho Falls right behind Girl Next Door as far as disturbing books for me. Loved it, and the commentary he was making on society, but wow, that guy's got a sick mind!

Another one to add for me: American Psycho I still have about 70 pages to go, but jeezalou!!! This might top Girl Next Door as the most disturbing book for me (isn't AP based on real events as well?) uuuuhh...I seriously have the heebie jeebies. The movie was so tame compared to ...

#334: Yeah, American Psycho isn't my fave either. And you're right--you're either bored to tears half the time or nauseated. Probably one of the few examples of where the movie's better than the book (1- it takes up less of your time, and 2- Christian Bale's in it ;).

... to make myself read a page at a time, just to get through it. Oh, that's right, I forgot: The Celestine Prophecy and American Psycho: baaaaaaaad! The first just made me bored out of my mind, the second one actually made me sick to my stomach.

... certainly provocative. You might want to give it a few months to see what the group are like before you throw that in. American Psycho might be an idea. Didn't like it personally, but should provoke discussion. Judy Blume's Forever might be worth chucking in there if the group ...

16. American Psycho--Bret Easton Ellis One of the few times I enjoyed a film more than the book. It had amusing moments--such as the interactions between the main character and his girlfriend, but it almost wasn't worth reading through the boring music reviews to be amused. As for the ...

... It was as if Shirley Jackson's The Lottery had been made into a novella... Now, I'm trying to decide what to read next: American Psycho The Secret History Choke

I agree about American Psycho the odd thing is that eventhough it honestly made me wince I read thebook in 2 nights. Go figure!!!

American Psycho, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like this about this book. The other most disturbing book of my life was a collection of russian fairy tales which I read as a child of 8. I was afraid of Baba Jaga for months afterwards.

Am up to page 267 of Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis Will be reading American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis next, which means I will have read all of Bret's work on the list.

... sort of posting on this group before. I'm currently reading Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis. Shall be reading American Psycho, also by Bret Easton Ellis. Also bought Looking For Alaska by the wonderful John Green which was quite awesome to find somewhere in Australia ...

#10 - American Psycho was great! Better than Alcohol! Happy Birthday!

2007, I picked 150 books to read. However, the last Harry Potter book completely ruined things for me and I had to desire to pick up another book until recently. I got around 50, if I was lucky (see http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=6899). So, I'm not going to bite off more than I ...

I'm currently working on American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, and I must say it is a very peculiar book. I have not read anything like this, yet the style reminds me a bit of Joyce James with its choppy nature. I am also reading Good Karma right now, an easy read with an interesting topic. ...
