It's one of those things though, you can't really know if you can handle something without trying it? It's very descriptive and Bateman's head is a scary place to be, though some people find parts of it funny.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08999045735966631122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858889186420818075.post-48227052723984246712014-09-30T10:50:32.516-04:002014-09-30T10:50:32.516-04:00I agree that Fahrenheit 451 is worth the read for ...I agree that Fahrenheit 451 is worth the read for everyone, and it's too bad you didn't love it, but I'm glad you appreciate it!

You're not the only one who's on the fence about American Psycho; on the one hand I want to see what it's like for myself, but on the other I don't know if I could get through a book about a man who takes pleasure in murdering other people. I'd really like to read something of Toni Morrison's, too, but all of her books sound like they'd break my heart!Jess @ Jessticulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081569733749956845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858889186420818075.post-27248052059025479482014-09-30T00:50:11.353-04:002014-09-30T00:50:11.353-04:00Omg.

I haven't read any others from this list but I have been curious about American Psycho. I watched the movie and actually liked it (that sounds wrong/weird) but I'm not sure if I could handle the book.<br /><br />My <a href="http://bookishwanderlove.blogspot.ca/2014/09/top-ten-tuesday-2-top-ten-books-that.html" rel="nofollow">TTT</a>Patty @ Bookish Wanderlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272391331752752668noreply@blogger.com
