I read Noam Chomsky. I like some of Gore Vidal's stuff.

John Cusack

I always want to read Gore Vidal's nonfiction. Because everything he writes is an essay and it's worth reading.

Frederick Busch

'Empire of Self' is a loving portrait of a very difficult man. Jay Parini, himself a gifted novelist, poet and biographer, has gone very deep into the 'black energy' of Gore Vidal's relentless narcissism and megalomania. Parini envisions an epic battle between Vidal's angelic and demonic sides, yet there's very little of the angel in Vidal.

Jerome Charyn

There will be a debate on Firing Line between Buckley and Gore Vidal on the proposition: "This nation cannot survive as long as the income of 50 percent of the population is below the median." Mr. Vidal will take the affirmative.

M. Stanton Evans

Gore Vidal was a man of immense literary talent, some of which he used well, some of which he wasted.

Fred Kaplan

I'm not Gore Vidal or William Buckley.

Lawrence Sanders

I loved Gore Vidal's Burr. That book gave me courage.

Hilary Mantel

They don't make people like Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley anymore.

Morgan Neville

Gore Vidal said "Nixon is us, we are Nixon." I think we have to acknowledge that combination of idealism and sleaze; we want to be better than we are, and we sometimes don't face up to the real questions.

Oliver Stone

Gore Vidal has been a friend of mine for years, and he's one of the greatest writers in American history.

Cybill Shepherd

I've read a lot of bad books. I used to review books for a living, and when you're a reviewer you read tons of terrible books.

John Green

I actually don't read comic books. I did when I was a kid - I used to read a lot of 'X-Men' comic books. I read a couple 'Scott Pilgrim' this past year, and those are really good, but I don't read in general, unfortunately.

Charlyne Yi

The books I used to love as a kid, I used to read football books - and by that I mean soccer books - stories about boys in school who started to play football and then became the captain. I'd read them cover to cover. I just got lost in them.

Ben Lloyd-Hughes

We lived in a classless society. We'd spend a summer at Gore Vidal's house in Italy, but we were on and off welfare.

Gaby Hoffmann

Writers since at least the heyday of Gore Vidal have bemoaned their audience's defection to other forms of entertainment.

Garth Risk Hallberg

I stayed at 'Cosmo' well beyond my internship, moving up the ranks over some 15 years to become books editor, then brand director, then editor-at-large - editing everything from an excerpt of Gore Vidal's memoir to writing some of those juicy cover lines myself.
