Wow, thanks (?) for the recs! While I’m not sure I’m up for fore (not my bag), I’m definitely interested in Less than Zero and Rent Boy.

Tender/Flesh is one of those books that has so stuck with me that I literally remember where I was when I read certain passages of it. I didn’t like it at the time but it’s one of those books that is so insidiously in my brain now that I feel I should have rated it higher!!

Have you seen the adaptation of Fever Dream?? It’s all in Spanish and very well done!!

LOVE this topic. By far the most disturbing book I’ve ever read was Bret Easton Ellis also, but Glamorama. I saw someone reading it at the pool on my honeymoon and I wanted to be like are you certifiable??? But also didn’t want to start drama on my honeymoon 🤣
