You do know that it is widely taught and studied at university level? And is one of the most critically and academically revered novels of the 1990s? Maybe it went over your head a bit.
Edit
Assume you are referring to American Psycho? If not, I apologise in advance.

on the subjective worth of American Psycho? Just because a book is studied doesn't mean it's good or engaging. Buffy is studied as part of some courses in America. Doesn't mean it's a TV show which you have to enjoy.

It is a perfectly executed satire which does very interesting things with the Body, the City, the Gothic, farce and vampires. To just dismiss it as 'utterly shite' is childish and philistine.

And how the fuck did you go from
"and am currently reading Glamorama for the first time in years.
It too is funny as fuck."
and me responding that it is a fucking shit book (because it is) to thinking I'm talking about American Psycho?
American Psycho is the only decent thing Ellis has written, he's almost as pretentious as you, but American Psycho works because of the pretentiousness of its subject matter.

Can we still be friends?
And did you not like Less Than Zero? Surely his worst by a long long way is Lunar Park.
Then The Rules of Attraction.
