Sometimes I can deal with Ellis but a lot of the time I can't. He's just a bit too much sometimes.

It's not just the babies and aborted fetises being sold as delicacies in asian street markets either. It's so so bleeding depressing that sometimes it actually affects me.

I tend to find that kind of depressing cynicism comforting when I'm reading - it's kind of like being told that I'm not the only one who looks at the world that way.

Me too for most things depressing and cynical..it's reassuring that's why I love the Smiths and Irvine Welsh but Ellis just sometimes brings something up that really stirs me nehatively a bit too much for comfort.

I guess it's probably cause I've not passed bats out my butt..I think maybe I'm like the diet coke of evil...maybe I'm not hardcore I don't know.

I'm the same way with sick humour. I love it but then someone hits a cord and it stings. I guess Ellis is like that for me. Know what I mean?

I've got a dozen or so books ahead of it on my list, too. I'll check in with you when I'm getting close. :)
