Happy Birthday Jackie Collins

Whenever the topic of my 'guilty pleasures' comes up, the novels of Jackie Collins are inevitably at the top of a short list which also contains the music of Kid Rock, Three's Company, and fried Spam.

Now, I don't believe in guilt, so I don't feel guilty for occasionally reading one of her potboilers, but I think most of my friends would be shocked to discover that between reading five kilo biographies and litt-rich-ah* I will occasionally cleanse my palate with a book which is all about fun.

I'm not sure then if reading Jackie Collins is the guilty pleasure or shocking my friends; either way, thanks for all the fun Jackie!
