Graham Greene had 47 favorite prostitutes, with names like Russian Boots and Bond Street French. The full list is apparently an appendix of the new third volume of The Life of Graham Greene.
(More Greenery here. While Greene had a thousand flaws, his life has long been one of the more romantic models for a writer. Particularly for wannabe globetrotters like me. Minus the prostitutes, that is.)

Greene is the perfect example of the flawed human. He wrote several great novels that explored the ambiguities of his Christian faith (The End of the Affair, The Power and the Glory, among many others) and he had 47 favourite prostitutes. Crazy.
