I was afraid, like you are when youre too young to know the time

I wouldn’t. I don’t grade my books. The books are the best thing I’d written at a particular time of my life, it’s really interesting. I don’t rate them, I don’t stack them up against each other, I don’t compete with them, I don’t feel I have to outdo them, I just write the book I feel like writing at the time that I write the book. -Bret Easton Ellis Oct. 2011

I’m trying to read this Bret Easton Ellis interview and its really frustrating because I always have a constant backlog of books I am supposed to have read/be reading in order to be a productive member of my generation and at any given time there are 10-20 in a basket in my car and at least 25 “saved for later” on my amazon.com account and just as fast as I read one, five more are added to the list… And anyway to get back on topic I can’t read this interview because I keep having to skip the relevant parts because I have only read Less Than Zero at this point, and I own American Psycho and of course I’ve seen the movie years ago but I have yet to read the book, and I didnt even know that Rules of Attraction was his, I saw that movie years ago and assumed it was written by some random, so as soon as I found out it was his I bought it in the Amazon marketplace for like 67 cents used but either way the books are going to be going to my Dad’s house since I dont have my own permanent address, and I won’t be there until Christmas so meanwhile the interview, which is from October as it is, is sitting in a tab in my browser. luckily I never close my browser.
