"'Patrick', she says. 'I wouldn't lie.'
'No, of course you wouldn't. . . but I think that. . .' My turn to sigh, contemplatively. 'I think. . . you know how they say no two snowflakes are ever alike?'
She nods.
'Well, I don't think that's true. I think a lot of snowflakes are alike. . . and I think a lot of people are alike too.'" - Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho, page 363
An intensely uncomfortable reading experience, to be sure, but ultimately culminates in a wonderfully and infuriatingly ambiguous story that is completely unique and stream-of-consciousness. Fascinatingly, this book relies on the lack of distinction and uniqueness between characters. Very, very interesting.
