Finished “The Rules of Attraction” by Bret Easton Ellis. Can someone smarter and older than me, tell me if Gen X yuppies were really like this? Nobody in this book has any personality traits whatsoever and they don't enjoy anything. They don't even seem to enjoy s*x. they constantly do drugs and have s*x with anyone just because it's expected of them? And how is it the only time I felt like I was reading about an actual human being was the chapter from Patrick fricking Bateman's POV. Sean is such a shithead and I have no empathy for him whatsoever, Lauren is just as annoying. The only feelings I have about Paul is that there's no way he's just bi, he's 100% gay. I guess I'm kind of spelling out the whole point of the novel typing this out. It's all empty actions that mean nothing.
Started a Star Wars book, “Thrawn: Treason”, this week.

Never read it but it sounds more like millennial bullshit then Gen Z slop, like Euphoria.
