I'm looking for a book similar to Bret Easton Ellis' Less Than Zero aside from Bright Lights, Big City.

Archibald Cox posted:Be warned that Play It as It Lays is an almost uniquely unpleasant book to read. What do you mean by unpleasant? Personally I love unpleasant moments in books. Like the part in Less Than Zero where Clay and Julian go to that Hotel Room. That poo poo rules.

This is really the first memoir I've ever read, and I'm wondering if I've been missing out; does anyone have any particularly interesting memoirs to recommend? They don't have to have been written by people like Hitchens, anybody with an interesting life would do. Although I've personally yet to read it, I have only heard good things from my friends and critics about Agusten Burrough's Running With Scissors.

I'm kind of looking for a book similar to "On The Road" or "The Motorcycle Diaries" but set on a continent that's not North or South America. The thing is, I just saw the movie "Encounters at The End of The World;" and hearing this woman talk about driving the length of Africa in a garbage truck made me want to read another travel book.

It's vague I know but when I think about it I don't think i've ever read a novel set there. I'm not sure what this says about my taste or what. Nyeh. So yeah, Los Angeles. Alhough I've never actually been there; and if what I've heard is true. Then Bret Easton Ellis "Less Than Zero" Should be what you're looking for.
