Just watched this on Netflix. Great documentary on a fascinating man. I can't believe I'd never heard of Gore Vidal before now. Gonna have to go check out some of his works for sure.
Anybody have any recommendations on which of his novels to start with?

"In America the top 5% have 20% and the bottom 20% only have 5%!" Vidal states angrily. Bahahahaha fuck wouldnt that be nice these days.
