Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis
4.0
I know I am a fourteen year old from 2019 and this was written about eighteen year olds in 1985, but something about Less Than Zero just resonates with me more than any "Young Adult" novel ever has. It's the nihilism, the moral decadence, the hopelessness of it all that speaks to someone in Generation Z more than drama about exes you met over your six inch black mirror ever can.
God, I feel sick. Bret Easton Ellis is the only author that fucking understands me. And I haven't felt this way since I played Mystic Messenger.

Written on the bathroom wall at Pages, below where it says "Julian gives great head. And is dead.": "Fuck you Mom and Dad. You suck cunt. You suck cock. You both can die because that's what you did to me. You left me to die. You both are so fucking hopeless. Your daughter is an Iranian and your son is a faggot. You both can rot in fucking shitting asshole hell. Burn, you fucking dumbshits. Burn, fuckers. Burn."
