The only book I've ever wished I could erase from my mind is Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho. Aside from thinking the book sucked in general, the descriptions of violence were graphic and disturbing enough that they occasionally pop up in my nightmares. Such was the case last night when I woke up at around 2:00 am and spent another two hours trying to get back to sleep.
Has anyone else here read that book? Did it bother you? Am I just a big wuss?

I don't know yet, but the movie is in my Netflix queue, right alongside Wall Street and Boiler Room. Probably came up in some discussion of movies about greed and narcissism. I'll let you know if it gives me nightmares.

I heard that the movie left the violence more to the imagination. It would be impossible to depict on screen what is described in the book. You should browse a copy at work sometime. I would be interested in what you think. This isn't violence like in Pan's Labyrinth - this is much much more. There is a seriously sick mind at work there.
