i feel guilty for liking this book so much but it was so good. the way it's written helps convey the feeling of loneliness and being emotionally detached.

What would you do if you were young, wealthy, and apathetic? What if sex and drugs weren’t enough anymore? What if the the only things left to entertain you were the worst things? What if you had nothing to lose? 

Bret Easton Ellis is fascinated with these questions, and he explores the answers in this chilling, dystopian LA landscape. 

“I want to go back,” Daniel says, quietly, with effort.
“Where?” I ask, unsure.
There’s a long pause  that kind of freaks me out and Daniel finishes his drink and fingers the sunglasses he’s still wearing and says, “I don’t know. Just back.”

“[…] she thinks I want to hug her or something and she comes over to me and puts her arms around my back and says something like ‘I think we’ve all lost some sort of feeling.’”

“But you don’t need anything. You have everything,” I tell him.
Rip looks at me. “No. I don’t.”
“What?”
“No, I don’t.”
There’s a pause and then I ask, “Oh, shit, Rip, what don’t you have?”
“I don’t have anything to lose.”
