Two Lonely American Psychos
FOUND by Brendan
in Boston, MA
The title page from American Psycho complete with an endearing note to a former, but apparently still swooning lover.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
But let's be honest, Roxanne, you were never worth the good gum.
Joe
ust have told you -didn't I?- that you don't have to put on that red dres
Sad. It's a great find, and I have nothing to say.
run Roxanne, run
"
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said"
Let's go over this one more time: title pages DO have titles on them, but also the author's name and the place of publication and the publisher's name; if all it has is the title, then it's called the "half title" and it's followed by the actual title page that has all that stuff I just said.
That said, I guess this Find could be a cropped view of an actual title page that doesn't show the other information ... but then why does it look like it's been out on the driveway getting run over for two weeks? Let's show some respect for the books here, people!

When Joe writes "what we had" is he referring to their love child?
If I were Roxanne and just received this book from Joe with that inscription, I'd be ripping pages and throwing them away and getting a restraining order.
Possible choices for Joe's last name:
"Blow"
"Dirt"
"Mama"
"Made it Go"
"Biden"
Ah, Roxanne. I'll never forget chasing you naked with the chainsaw while Huey Lewis was playing. Good times.
The only book I would less like to see this message on is Nabokov's Lolita.
lol@clio
I hope she is moving soon. i definitely wouldn't want joe to know where i live after this little gem. freaky.
That makes me feel all warm and bloody inside.
Sweet, yes. Scary, yes. Why the hell is it written on an American Psycho thing?
Roxanne, Roxanne, don't you understand? Roxanne, Roxanne...
I wish is was signed by Patrick Bateman, instead of Joe.
In a world where an ordinary Joe can make a tuba named Roxanne sing the blues, one man can still get rich simply by writing comic books and owning a drive-in movie theater: Bob Ozzie, astronaut!!
He's white/hispanic; he's nice and articulate; he's gooly, talkative, and shares the covers! Bob, and his kickass friend Leather Heather, will never forget each other, or what they had. And neither will you.
Coming soon to a theater near you. (Soundtrack by Hip Linkchain available for download from Teardrop Records. Void where prohibited by law.)
@ HPD: Or "The Plumber"
Oh Roxanne, remember all those videotapes we returned together? And the time I tried to feed your cat to an ATM? True love, it was!
I'm really hoping that Roxanne and Joe didn't have what Patrick Bateman had with women... :/
Any love note written under the word Psycho... must a sublimital message.
Creepy!
That reminds me....I have to return some videotapes.
Ok what exactly did Joe and Roxanne "have" to peruse the bookshelf and see American Psycho and remember she needed a thinking of you gift.
Sadly this would be the kind of gift I would give to some of my good friends, just a funny joke. To make them smile later on in life
"I will never forget you and what we had, or where the bodies are buried."
Aha! I detect a misspelling!! (*giggle*)
