so-so

8-26-22: My 84th finished book of 2022! I don‘t know what to say about this book. Manhattan (and London and Paris) in the 90s. Victor Ward, a supermodel who name drops constantly, lives a glorified life of excess until he gets recruited to go abroad and find an old friend. Violent and sexual and confusing. ⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣8️⃣4️⃣

so-so

The humor did not ring for me, so I can start there. I think the difference between this and “American Psycho,” for example, is the ideas being expressed are not as present and powerful as they are in AP. Whereas here it‘s a lot of “contemporary life is superficial and celeb obsessed,” AP delves into masculinity, misogyny, hyper consumerism and much more... But: cut one or two hundred pages out and I think this novel would be far more compelling.

and girls were treating me different now that I was dating Bobby Hughes...and then the dark patterns started appearing...and when I told Bobby ‘No one‘s being themselves, everyone‘s so phony,‘ Bobby said ‘Shhh‘ and then whispered ‘That IS being themselves.‘

#90sSpringFling @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen
Loving all the 90s photos and now I'm regretting not planning ahead and phoning my parents for some. I'll have to settle for some living history: two of the oldest shirts in my wardrobe. How old are they? In continuous operation since high school? Could be...no one really knows. But flannels and baggy wide-leg jeans (about as wide as I was tall) were definitely my thing!

batsy Haha, love the creative interpretation! #flannels4life 5y

merelybookish I think my husband still has a few shirts from the 90s. That's the beauty of grunge! 🙂 5y

erzascarletbookgasm Lol, flannels are timeless I‘ll say! 5y

mcipher Oh, I had those pants on the 90s! You had to get them special so they got in the waist or it was such a difficult belt situation. 😆 5y

Cinfhen Grunge ruled and I gotta agree with @batsy hashtag #Flannels4Life 5y

Cinfhen Excellent hashtag ❤️ 5y

Billypar @mcipher Exactly- and the problem for me was that my belts were too big, so I always felt self-conscious if I ever had to tuck in my shirt. 😂 5y

Billypar @LeahBergen I'm a fan of Glamorama, but it gets a 56% on Litsy, a pretty slim majority! But I guess people are fairly divided over Ellis. (And you can never have too much information about Nirvana). 5y

Billypar @CarolynM @BarbaraBB Thanks ☺️ 5y

I'm in agreement with others BEE fits the bill for today's #rockinmay #cocaine. Lunar Park might be the only exception. This one is set in the 90s New York night club scene and is definitely along similar *lines* (sorry, had to) as his other work in terms of themes, but also goes down a very bizarre path. Paranoia doesn't even begin to describe... @Cinfhen

Cinfhen Love the pun!!! And I'm feeling all of these BEE titles today 😉 7y
