Not sure if this counts, but I found myself laughing out loud to parts of Ellis' American Psycho. There's a chapter where he crucifies his ex-girlfriend to the floor with a nailgun and mutilates her vagina, then lines her insides with an expensive brie and lets an enormous rat loose to chew her apart from within. The absolutely grotesque level of incessant detail and unrelenting perversion just left me feeling so desolate, the only emotion left was amusement. It really is an amazing novel. |
The part where he mails a baby toy to some chick he forced to get an abortion is probably the most uncomfortable part in the book that and him killing the child. |

| Yeahhhhh, the coathanger abortion he relishes in the back of his limo... I dunno, it has a point. Life is no longer of any value of him; no matter the age or denomination - I think this is supremely political more than it is social. It speaks of politicians who would gladly carpet bomb a civilian city just to make a CNN-calibre example of it than it does of a psychotic elite who enjoys mascerating women for the fun of it. |

Codependent No More, by Melodie Beattie is my least favorite book - ever. It also scares the out of me because I've known a lot of people who bought into it. The ridiculous thing is that, if you actually read it, it makes absolutely no ing sense. Its circular logic has such a wide scope it applies to that almost anyone can be diagnosed with codependency.
I never got scared by Catcher in the Rye but Holden Caulfield annoyed the out of me. |

You call that a business? :o |
haha... well that's just the one office in Charlotte. We have 4 total. Doesn't matter though- we could operate with just a handful of people in one location and still be successful. But we had the ability to grow and take no more employees in years past, so we did. I planned to sell this fucker in the near future and move on to greener pastures, but it looks like it's going to be a while longer now thanks to the ever encroaching hand of Uncle Sam. |

some goon my dad worked with years ago sold us some Amway ... one of the products was dishwashing liquid. It was so potent, it made the skin on our hands peel off after using it. |

As much as I hate to say it, The Great Gastby made me feel uncomfortable. I had to read it for school and though I thought it was cool, the whole book just gave me this... desolate feeling. Like it was just a narrative devoid of any events or emotions or anything, it just felt so superficial that it was like... surreal. It was like an empty room with people walking through it at random times, then Gatsby dies and its over. Maybe it was just my mood because a friend of mine says he never felt that.
Besides that I've never read a book that has made me feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. |
