Finally read BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES by Tom Wolfe. I seem to remember the film being a bit poor but the book is great, i really enjoyed it!
Great book, Yogi. A perfect representation of the excesses and class rage of Manhattan in the '80s.
Germane to this board: The lawyer in the novel, Tommy Killian, was actually based on Eddie Hayes, who is a high profile Manhattan criminal attorney. He represented one of the "Mob Cops" (Caracappa, I think).
Decent movie. Not as bad as critics made it out to be, but not really memorable, either.
