This is not the kind of book that one can really enjoy reading, in the same way its hard to really enjoy American Psycho at points. Unless you're a very sadistic, damaged person. The prose style of Crash is very dense and complex, it is not something you pick up casually. And as for its content, I myself am a little desensitized, but like American Psycho, the constant talk of extravagant, gory injuries and various bodily excretions just gets exhausting after a while. Nonetheless, the underlying philosophy - the connection between man and machine, carnage and sexuality - is extremely fascinating. I don't claim to understand it - I didn't entirely understand the movie, though I still consider it one of my favorites - but for that it was worth the read.
Sex and car crashes. I think I am over my head with this one.
Listening to this audiobook while driving really feels like tempting fate...
Went through ups and downs in my opinion of this–at first I was fascinated and dazzled by its novelty, then I grew annoyed with the repetition of phrases, but then I circled back and appreciated it as a textural, atmospheric piece of writing.
