oh I know, I got to the bit where he arrives in paris/london and finds his flatmates I think with a fake dead body of him or dead body of someone else. Was getting good but got distracted

I enjoyed American Psycho oddly enough but it took me a lot longer to read than normal.

i get that but he takes it a bit too far sometimes, to the point where it becomes difficult to read past the list of celebrities he's naming

Zoolander on the other hand..

best book was the third

Currently reading Watching the English by Kate Fox, an anthropological study of English customs, rules and behaviour.

I'm going to next read Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

Last book I read was the Great Gatsby, I would recommend it

if you want to get into politics then it would be better to study law or actual politics than some political theories
