Not all of them, I started writing Gravity's Rainbow, but once I got through the shit and piss scene, I threw the manuscript in a very corner bookshelf, where I keep things like my "Wizard of Id" collection.

that scene (if its the one I'm thinking it is- with the kinky torture) gave me nightmares- but I'm still plugging away at the book...

Yes, and some of them I wrote twice. I wrote Les Miserable once, and then edited it to be less foufy. You should have seen the pre-edit version! Ponies prancing in butterscotch meadows would have called it sissy!

Why is The Historian: A Novel on the list? If it's the book I'm thinking of, it's okay but not literature or anything. Odd.
