Finally reading American Psycho and it's making me fucking depressed.
I wish I could have Bateman's lifestyle. I wish I could be a Wall Street finance guy wearing ten thousand dollar ensebles, doing coke nightly, having debaucherous sex and spending all day having lunch at fancy restaurants.
Instead I was born in the fucking Midwest and studies STEM, now I work in a laboratory.
Fuck my life.

You will sooner or later get used to being stuck in only one life.
This depression might be re-ignited sometime ofcourse, but then you will again get used to it.
I'd add some bullshit on how it works and why we always dive into acceptance of everything we can't change but that's some elementary school level philosophy so I rather don't.

You'd feel the same no matter what the fuck you would be doing. Coke, hookers and money wouldn't change the fact that you feel something was missing.
Well, I didn't read this book any farther than the first chapter because it felt like it was written to shock people in the fucking midwest studying STEM. The Bateman class was to my taste portrayed much more realistic and much more succinctly in the "Hyperboloid of the Engineer Garin" and the "Dunno" series.

The whole point of it is how vapid and hollow he and the sort of life he lives are.

the English title is "The Garin Death Ray".
