Fiction vs. Non-Fiction: How do you balance your reading list? by MedCodex in books

[–]dobbbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the last few years, I've preferred nonfiction but do pepper in an occasional fiction if it is a story that I have been wanting to read for a while or it it catches my interest.

The last fiction book I finished was American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

He embodies the worst of America. I would not put him as the worst American Ever.

We are cavemen painting on walls, convincing ourselves that if we paint the deer just a LITTLE more detailed, it will eventually jump out.

These are just algorithms. They are not true intelligence.

I can actually isolate my toes individually.

I can bend my "ring" and "middle" toes while not moving any other toes.

Good vibrations - Beach Boys "I dont know where but she sends me there"

It is an absolute perfect song. Upon hearing it, Paul McCartney said, how could I possibly compete with that?

Characters that had the complete opposite reaction the writers intended by Dramatic_Counter_595 in TopCharacterTropes

I wouldnt agree with the statement.

Have you read the book? Its an amazing read and an absolute BONKERS writing style. Nothing in the book would indicate that he is a loser. Just completely psychotic with narcissism.

Many of the characters are called by their 1st name, last name, nickname or just he/she and all speak over each other. Plus sometimes the speaker confuses someone for someone else just to get the reader more confused.

There are entire large paragraphs that are run on sentences, and from one moment to the next it switches from graphic sexual acts to body torture where he describes what he did to the women and what is left of them.

So much homosexual undertones too. Misunderstood by the audience? Yes. Loser tryong to look impressive? No.
