American Psycho

[Adebisi]

About 14 years ago we were sat in a mates flat in Netherton all taking huge tokes of this massive home-made bong that involved an old plastic sweet container (bon bons, kop kops type) and we had a small coke bottle in the middle as the coolant area and 5 tubes coming off it with a huge bowl for our skunk to go in.

 

It was a fucking beast.

 

We had been blasting on this for about an hour and a half and it is like that scene in Platoon where Sergeant Elias takes Taylor into that party room. So we start talking about the book of American Pyscho and I had only seen the film and thought nothing much about it other than Bale was awesome in it. Someone started saying how the book was boss but too graphic for them to finish. I (being completely red eyed and stoned off my tits) argued that it can't be that bad. To be fair I was basing my judgement on the film and wasn't a big reader back then.

 

So I said I bet I could read it and not freak out. I was then challenged to read a section out loud. So my mate pipes and says I will pick a scene for you to read out to everybody.

 

So my mate gets the book, picks out the scene where the Bateman has the prostitute and he shoves a habitual tube up inside her as he is having a bit of fun and then lets a rat loose inside and pulls the tube out, and leaves the rat to eat her from the inside.

 

Now as I read this section out loud I began to actually see this happening (the weed obviously played a big part in the tripping effect that was beginning to take place) Fair dues I actually read 3 pages but after I had finished I was white as a tin of brilliant white Dulux paint from B&Q.

 

I spent the whole night quiet in shock just taking hit after hit off the bong.

 

A book has never had that impact n me. I read it again 4 years later from start to finish and that rat scene has haunted me every time I have read the book since. Ii always get a picture of watching that scene happen in that state where I was off my face.

 

A brilliant, brilliant book.

 

That's a great story chief! That must have been some bubonic chronic, as the kids say, too. I love reading stoned. Most people are like 'how the hell can you read when you're stoned to bits' and sometimes it is difficult if you're majorly chonged, but I love reading a good book late at night with a joint. Started reading Three Men in a Boat with a burn last night as a matter of fact, very amusing.

 

I'm not having that Talking Heads cover though.

Loved reading stoned when I used to partake as well. That said I'd have been pissed if American Psycho was read to me while high, talk about a fucking downer.
