American Psycho

That book is what inspired me to start writing. The whole of the book is about Patrick Batman, he works on Wall Street, is very well educated, and very rich. Everyday he goes to work and hangs out with his friends and girlfriend, but he does not care about any of it. He does not care about the job or about the people. The one thing that he does care for is the image that he presents to the world. Which is very contradictory because he thinks about killing almost everyone that he meets or even sees, even so he still cares so much about the image. This book is about nihilism. I have thought about and think that almost every single recent generation has cared about the same thing that Patrick does. Worse yet almost none of these generation have even noticed it. They think as long as it all looks good on the outside everything must be okay, or at the very least no one will care enough to dig deeper. Now that mask of Patrick as started to slip and all we are left with is that infinite nothing that has always been there. That is what we are left with, some that have seen the nothing and are trying to find anything, and we are also left with the most who are trying to put the mask back on.
