What's your favorite and why? My vote's for "Glamorama," but that could just be because it's the BEE book I read most recently.

Fri, February 13, 2004 - 8:20 PM"The Rules of Attraction"
I know it was panned, but I dearly love it. Of course, I went to a tiny liberal arts college . . . -

Fri, February 13, 2004 - 8:56 PMI, too, went to a tiny new england college, and when I read it my Freshman year, I was thought it was so brilliant.
Since then, I've tried to read it a few times, and it's seems very simple. -

Wed, May 25, 2005 - 5:47 PMi agree that Rules of Attraction wasnt his most "developed" novel, but i thought Less than Zero is easy to spot as his first.
I liked how Rulesh had the storyline that was far from linear, and that the ending

Wed, June 9, 2004 - 2:28 PMWell I've read all of them and I have to say Glamorama as well. I was 'edge-of-my-seat' the whole time I read it.

Sat, September 4, 2004 - 8:38 AMIt's a tie between The Rules of Attraction and American Psycho. Rules of Attraction reminds me of my college days but American Psycho has the distinction of being only one of two books that has ever made me lose my indestructable appetite (Clive Barker's short story "The Midnight Meat Train" from the first Book of Blood is the other one).

Re: Best BEE novel?
Tue, December 14, 2004 - 1:15 PMAmerican Psycho is great for those of us with borderline personality disorders. Glamorama is perfect for the adult BEE-reader. And, Rules of Attraction is a favorite among those of us confused by morals...BEE constantly challenges hedonism vs. ethical resposibility. While his characters feel no need to throw away a can of beer when there's a trashcan right next to them, isn't this whole idea of "no littering" a privileged perspective anyway?...Are you really going to look down on a homeless person if they leave a beer can on the street? Rules of Attraction blurs all of these so-called moralities -- from both a leftist and far right perspective. BEE fucks with my head constantly and I love him for it.

It is insance, the storyline is stop-go. And I cannot stop laughing from the photos on the cover (of the hardcopy). -

Tue, May 24, 2005 - 11:09 AMI'm rather partial to Less Than Zero, personally... even though after reading it, i shit-canned the novel i was halfway through writing and did not even attempt a re-write for over 10 years because i was afraid people would think i was plagiarizing BEE (even though mine was a thinly veiled autobiography / tell-all about the people with whom i spent my last year of high-school and first year of college)
