Do you get scared when you read? I usually don't get scared, and when I do I only get a little scared. I like horror books for the suspense, though.

If you get scared, do you get scared while you are reading or after you have been reading and put down the book?

Not necessarily scared, more disturbed. Last time I was disturbed by a book was with Brett Easton Ellis's American Psycho at the insouciant, almost blase manner in which the central character metes out violence (at one point he matter-of-fact-ly spoons the eyes out of street urchin.)

I didn't read that book, but I want to. I saw the movie American Psycho. Is that based on the book? The movie is definitely disturbing.

I don't like being scared because I can't get to sleep! But I do enjoy being disturbed and/or creeped out.
