Proper order, that's more like it.  I could hardly concentrate on my Celia Ahern audiobook, and I don't want  to miss this bit - Holly's just about to go shopping (again).

There's a book in you yet, Teebs.

That's what my proctologist tells me.

He's read your entrails.

Now that, here and now, is funny.

Vidal was fantastic.  I read all of his essays I could get my hands on, after finding out about him from the appalling Clive James (back when James wrote funny stuff about tv).  I particularly liked Vidal's essays on Edith Nesbit, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Thomas Love Peacock - partly because I then gave those writers a go and liked them.  He could be very funny - the essays on 'Everything You ever wanted to Know about Sex' (the book, not the movie) and on Henry Miller were hilarious.

I also read a a couple of his 'tec books, written under the name Edgar Box, which were okay.

A bit late I know, but mention - however belatedly - should be made of Con Houlihan, sports and literary journalist for the Irish Press newspaper who passed away recently. His declaration that "A Man who could misplace an apostrophe is capable of anything!" still rings so true today.
