Tried Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis - but really not my kind of writing. Could never get into Jack Kerouac, either - that whole beatnik/freeflow of consciousness just seems to me like somebody who never learned how to properly order their thoughts. Saw the movie was on the other day - watched that about halfway and then gave up on that as well.
Guess I'm never gonna be an Ellis fan - which is a pity, cause I really liked American Psycho (the movie). Now I am a bit hesitant to try the book...
