OFFTOPIC--Live From Golgotha

[Elainemmbell at aol.com]

Thanks to you folks, I've had a wondrous reading year -- you introduced me to 
Murakami, Abe, DeLillo, Flanagan, and inspired re-readings of Pynchon, 
Nabokov, 
Tanizaki, and Orwell.  Your comments and debates have informed my own work; 
your arguments and internecine battles have amused me on my worst days.  
Witnessing your personal accomplishments (Cyrus, Quail, e.g.) has helped me press 
on...

Recently I read Gore Vidal's Live From Golgotha and wondered where Vidal 
stands in your pantheon?  I'm of several minds about his work, immensely impressed 
with concept, not always thrilled with execution.  Anyone have thoughts on 
this? 

Thanks, and have a liberating 4th of July, ye of every political stripe & 
star!
