Reply to comment by Coolhuman1505_ in What is the meaning of the depth Patrick Bateman goes into about music in American Psycho? by ChairmanUzamaoki

If you have seen the movie, yes.

If you have not seen the movie, YES.

It's in my top 3 stand alone novels of all time. I have reread it maybe 5-10 times over the past 15 years.

Any time I want to get back into reading I pickup one of three books: American Psycho, I Am Legend, or Fight Club. 3 of the greatest stand alone novels in my dumb opinion. The stories, prose, and subtlety is fucking genius. I love them with a burning passion.

Try Mcarthy’s The Road next - it might fit your taste.

I remember reading that years ago, I'll reread and see how it is now that I'm older. Why would that one fit in with these three?
