    Have about 60-70 pages left. Not bad. Made the mistake of watching the movie beforehand a few years ago, though. I noticed they combined a lot of the characters... which made the book confusing. I wish I'd forgotten the damned thing. Glad I watched American Psycho AFTER reading it. Way it should be... Blah, blah, blah. Anyhow. I like the book. I don't know if I like it more than Less Than Zero... but it's definitely worth a read.
