YES
yeah,I like Bukowski,Burroughs,Hunter S.,Di Prima blah blah blah... and I've read Catcher in the Rye....so what, hasn't every rock'n'roller,artist,reformed fuck-up? I mean, in high school, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh were "required reading" for cry'in out loud. "It was the best of times,it was the worst of times" I would go to my bookcase and make a list, but that's too tedious. I like trashy crime novels for reading on airplanes...it has to say "a real page turner" on the back cover or I won't buy it. The Bombshells Manual of Style is also quite useful. No, I have not read War and Peace
Heroes can be so disappointing,(use what ya can, and throw out the rest) but I do have some style icons. Kim Novak, Emma Peel, Anita Pallenberg,Monica Vitti and Catwoman. Dorothy Malone in Written on the Wind!and Keith Richards of course!
