    American Psycho contained scenes so graphic that I’d have to pause and stare out the window briefly before I could go on.

      I used to sell books and this elderly couple came up to the counter saying they were buying it as a Christmas present.

      So I told them “Hey, it’s not my place to say what is or is not a good Christmas present, but before I sell it to you, could I get you to just flip the pages, randomly stick your finger in, and start reading?”

      They thought I was kidding, but they did it…

      “OH MY GOD!”

      “Yeah…”

      “OH MY GOD!”

      Better they find out then than AFTER I sold it to them!
