I quite enjoyed one of his other books Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs so I figured I'd give this a try. He always has interesting things to say about pop culture.

I did. It's a fascinating mess, I love the Gately and Joelle stuff but there's so only much tennis I can read about.

Pretty sure we had this four post conversation before, but that book gives me the creeps. I don't even want to finish it cause the empty feeling it gives me just ruins my week.

Most of her books are creepy tho. I thought the Gravedigger' s Daughter was a hell of a lot creepier.

I've only read maybe one or two others by her and sure, they're definitely on the creepy side, but a book with an emotionless sociopath narrator just gives me the willies. Same thing with Lolita.

Ew I hated Lolita so much, everyone always talks about how they end up sympathising with Humbert Humbert and I felt absolutely none for him.

Have you read Filth by Irvine Welsh? Bruce Robertson knocks HH out of the park on creeper level

They were probably closet pedos. I don't understand that. He's pretty much the worst person on Earth without any redeeming qualities. He's one of those people you see on the news in a mug shot and say, "I hope they give him the chair."

Nope. I'm a lazy reader and I've got a stack of books taller than me to read so I really have to get through them before I can read anything else. Especially something that's gonna have me feeling lifeless and contemplating suicide. I prefer Chuck Palahniuk for that kinda thing anyway. Not that he's anything like that, but you know what I mean.
