I definitely read Nancy Drew WAY before I saw Cabaret, old chum!

Ha ha - I just realised Pippi was a more powerful influence on my developing mind than the Lord's Prayer which I recited mechanically every morning in (public) grad school.

She apparently wrote a bunch of other books too. I've been meaning to find some of them and read them. I should get on that.

I don't think I did. Missed opportunity.

I proudly owned the first 53 Nancy Drew mysteries (plus cookbook, which introduced me to the idea of broiling grapefruit) and I read them constantly. Some of them were really old - with the original racism! - and had been old when my mother (now 80) inherited them.

I left them behind when I went to college and then into my first apartment... and I have no idea what happened to them, but I imagine my mom gave them away (she's pretty free with other people's possessions), since I can't imagine her throwing books away.

As a red-haired girl, Nancy meant a lot to me... so I will join you in fighting anyone who wants to kill her off.

Nope. George is the lesbian. That's always been pretty clear.

The "new" comic is way more fucked up than the TV show, although much of the show is based on it. Think true horror, evil shit, and no fun. It is a cool read but fucked up.

I have always wanted to read the rest of L. Frank Baum's Oz series, myself.
