From the If... book
If you could own any building in existence, which would you pick?
This would probably have to the Chemosphere - Malin House in the Hollywood Hills, which you've probably seen in movies or books since it's pretty famous. Built in 1960 it's an octagon house on a concrete pole, great view... the best view around I'm surmising... mod, aloof and private. Someone rich lives there now but of course they would be gone when I throw the benjamins their way. I would invite only those who I like, or those I would want to impress. There would be parties with carbonated drinks and cookies and movies. And then I would turn off all the lights and watch and glimmer of Hollywood and sigh with a mixture of comfort & melancholy.
