    *snort* Loved #22. And #36. And also #27. I think #4 was my fave though.

    I like how 42 was 42, reminded me of The Impossible Quiz (a haven for procrastinators the world over).

    Hahahaha, I just noticed your 'Slags and Sluts' header. Is that new? Or did I miss it before...? Either way, how ducking brilliant is THAT?

    I like changing my blog baubles (and blog buddies) now and then. Sorts the slags from sluts, so to speak. :)

    I also love the list and can assure you I am NOT Gore Vidal--in fact I've only read two of his books... Julian and one that was on a lot of 'must read' lists that escapes me... Funny that it was the one that nobody was pressing on me that stuck...

    I think there is a life lesson there for anyone who wants to stick to someone, but it sounds sort of sticky if you ask me.

    Gore Vidal came to my attention as a grumpy old man telling a BBC news anchor to stick his interview.

    I'm a fan now. :)

    I like numbers 1 through 42, especially numbers 1 through 42.

    And I have writer's block in a massive way.

    Gore Vidal is sitting on my shelf. Or what's left of him.
