A controversial 1991 novel written by American author Bret Easton Ellis.
Set in the boom and bust 1980's, the book centres around 26 year old Wall Street businessman Patrick Bateman and his dark psychotic journey of mental unstability as he tries to solve the conflict between his need to fit in and his battle against anonymity.
The novel features some exceptionally graphic violence, often of a sexual nature, and leaves the reader unsure of whether the violence is only in Bateman's head or is in fact happening.
An excellent book and movie but one that should maybe be avoided on first dates....unless you want your date to know you plan to smash their head in with a well polished axe.
The book was made into a Holywood film in 2000 and starred Christian Bale.

Quotes:
"Then, turning her over again, her body weak with fear, I cut all the flesh off around her mouth and using the power drill with a detachable, massive head I widen that hole while she shakes, protesting, and once I'm satisfied with the size of the hole I've created, her mouth open as wide as possible, a reddish black tunnel of twisted tongue and loosened teeth, I force my hand down, deep in her throat, until it dissappears up to my wrist"

Get the degeneration of american music mug.This is the system of education where students do not actually learn how to do anything useful. This is also where you are served food worse than prisons. Each room also has it's own climate. One room might be snowing and have penguins and other might be having a heat wave. And oh man that dress code is great. Teaching young girls that their shoulders must be covered at all times because it's to "distracting" to the guys and they won't be able to focus on work.
