I like how emotionally distant yet very observant and to a degree very curious the narrator is. Is it possible to become like that without drugs?

I used to think that and then started commuting in NYC on public transportation to a cubicle job.
Every person becomes an Island. The group he hangs out with values aesthetics and decadence so strongly that they have rejected regular human discourse.
I actually had an office manager that spent every weekend pretending she was a rich long island princess even though she made like 45000 a year (BMW, Gucci, the works) and I lent her this book as a veiled criticism. She didnt read it of course but her mom did and really opened up on her for living a life of shit.

Being like that is what turned me to drugs.
Poor meditation practice will likely do the same.
There's sunglasses on the book because the book is cool.
Anyone read the sequel?
>>8058769
I haven't, but the /lit/ consensus is that it's shit.
Bout to watch the movie first before reading this how fucked am i
>>8058828
Every BEE book is shit though. The man has no talent.

It's LOOSELY based on the book. Patrick Bateman isn't even in it.
>>8059818
Less Than Zero was really good actually. Everything else has been a downward spiral.
>>8059821
>Bateman in Less Than Zero
You're thinking of The Rules of Attraction and - obviously - have not read either.
>>8059863
Bateman is in RoA?
>>8059866
He narrates a whole chapter.

>it's LOOSELY based on the book
>that I never read
>trust me on this m8

Did you only watch the movie because you were hoping he would show up?
>>8059888
I haven't seen the films.

Less Than Zero movie was terrible. Less Than Zero boom was amazing. But I was also a massive depressed alcholic and taking a lot of drugs at the time. Still loved the style.

>Less Than Zero boom
Is that a muslim version or a Boom! Studios adaptation?
I'm feeling dreadful today
will reading this make things different?
>>8060057
Nah, it will make you long for your youth.
>>8060057
I don't understand this. No. Read something happy/comfy.
>>8060084
>What about youth would it make me long for?
Time and having no responsibilities, mostly.
>>8060115
Nah, tell us all about it if you want to.
