EH?! You do mean Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller right?
I read that quite recently and while I enjoyed it, and appreciated it, I cannot see how it would be considered 'worse' than American Psycho. I thought it was like chatting to your rudest, most foul-mouthed friend who's very good at anecdotes for a couple of hours about his sex life and what else he'd been up to recently. Whereas the last half of American Psycho describes and relishes acts SO depraved I have real difficulty imagining them.
Stranger in a Strange Land - I haven't heard of it before but I'm intrigued by the concept and I intend to check it out.
