"Hey, hoss...the sparrows are flying again. It's time to lie me an alibi!"

No, that's true. Especially the earlier ones. I loved Master of the Game, The Stars Shine Down, The Sands of Time, If Tomorrow Never Comes, and Morning, Noon and Night. So many others but these are favorites. Do you like him? To me, he's just fun. I never expect the twists and he's adept at fastening a taught thriller...but in a different way than say Ira Levin (who was a master).

I don't think I have ever read one of his books.

I dont think i want to meet any writers if there dead,they might smell and look horrible.

Is Richard Bachman dead? I mean really? If so, I'd ask him why he can't get behind being Stephen King.

Agatha Christie

William S. Burroughs and Hunter S. Thompson--strong drink and firearms, yer bugger.

Go on the road with Kerouac or Kesey.

Share a bottle of champagne with Capote at Studio 54.

Kick Hemingway's butt at arm wrestling, kick Scott Fitzgerald's butt (period) and take Zelda out on the town.

An all-nite pub crawl with Bukowski.

But first and foremost, I'd love to have been a regular at Villa Diodati during that gloomy, stormy summer of 1816. Blam, you got the Shelley's, Byron, Polidori...I've read even Monk Lewis stopped by once. The birthplace of English Horror right there in a moody, delicious setting. (And maybe years later sweep the widowed Mary off her lonely feet, take her back to the states with me. Hey, why not? It seems she had a thing for Washington Irving, so...)

I could do this all day, dammit...
