American Psycho. I'm sure it's a brilliant book, and it's definitely beloved by a lot of literary critics. But I had really horrible nightmares for weeks after reading it. Wish I'd never injected it into my neurons.

Yes, American Psycho. That's exactly what I was going to say. There are some things that you don't want to have embedded in your subconscious.

I didn't bother reading that book for exactly this reason, it is a sad book about a shameful subject. I do not mean to be detrimental to the author however: 'Less Than Zero' is superlative and there is nothing that should be off-limits for writers and authors.
