London again!
Wow, did somebody write a book with ME in mind:

IMAGINED LONDON: A TOUR OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST FICTIONAL CITY (Washington: National Geographic Society, 2004; 192 pp., $20.00) is Anna Quindlen's evocative tour of literary London: it's a personal essay, full of insight and humor (and of course Baker Street and Sherlock Holmes are mentioned).

Also, yet another comic book series I'm going to have to buy:

SHERLOCK HOLMES & KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER, is a new three-issue comic-book series ($3.99 for each issue) published by Moonstone Books (582 Torrence Avenue, Calumet City, IL 60409) www.moonstonebooks.com ; the story was written by Joe Gentile, and is a spin-off from the television series starring Darren McGavin (1974) and Stuart Townsend (2005).

I think the only other quotes I'm sure about are "I'm tired & I hurt," & "Down & Safe." I never can recall the exact "What's it like being a god?" quote, but that's probably my favourite exchange.

I *think* the rejoinder to 'What's it like being a god?' is something like, 'Don't you know?'

I always forget it starts w/ Cally:

CALLY: Did she really think you were a god?

AVON: For a while.

BLAKE: How did it feel?

AVON: Don't you know?

BLAKE: Yes. I don't like the responsibility, either.

the seething look of contempt mingled with baffled longing on Avon's face as he flung his retort @ Blake.

I could read 'you smug bastard' in Avon's mind. :^)
