@BretEastonEllis@JasonStarrBooks I'm not sure it should be 'taught'. It's a brilliant complexity that curious people should wander into...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@BretEastonEllis Agreed. No one should read until they are 25. I learned the hard way. Wait till you get to Esther's Otherworldly Voice.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@BretEastonEllis@Hadrovich next, try some Proust :D -
@Nick_Wellings@BretEastonEllis Indeed, I'm on third book now and loving it but can't imagine enjoying it much younger than I am now... -
@Hadrovich@BretEastonEllis I read it at a young age, about 21. He reveals new things when you return to him. Book 2 is great, 3 a slog -
@Hadrovich@BretEastonEllis but the whole thing just wonderful. Pure art.
