- Bret Easton Ellis, author of "Rules of Attraction" and "American Psycho" reads from his newest novel, "Imperial Bedrooms," presented by Harvard Book Store. In this novel, the teenagers of his debut, "Less Than Zero," move into a desperate middle age. More lectures at forum-network.org
This talk took place on June 24, 2010.
He was great. Smart, answers frankly, pleasant and close to his audience.
TBH It genuinly made me a bit sad to see that Clay became such a monster. Judging by his behavior in Less Than Zero, I thought that he’d be a bit more morally righteous.
"Imperial Bedrooms" is such an amazing book :) At first, I was like "A sequel to Less than zero" ???? WTF ??? LOL But the book is brilliant, and stands on its own with his qualities and the way it goes deeper and deeper into loneliness and Noir paranoia :)
I'd loved of seen Christian Bale's meeting Bret in the character of Patrick Bateman. That sounds like it'd be hilarious.
I was deeply affected by the movie 1st seeing it in 1988 @ Keene State. It gave me a glimpse @ several pals @ prep school. I was on the outside of that click b/c of family-status. Shalom
If you like Bret's writing you would probably like Wasting Talent by Ryan Leone.
Definitely, what an experience that must have been.
18:00 - Awesome story about Christian Bale.
Write a sequel to Glamorama.
I think the reading is pretty good. But its been a couple of months since I read the book and that first part didn't sound very good to me now. But I liked it when I first read it so maybe I should try reading it again.
I have a couple of his books laying around. Can't get through em...
I wanted the vampires so bad

Burroughs 9 trillion look
It is a great video, but I wish he didn't rush through reading and took some time to read a bit better, and with better pace. I guess he is a writer, not a voice actor...
Who else was hoping that this had something to do with Skyrim?
