Glad to hear we got halfway there! :-)

Try this:

	1) Quit Safari if you're running it.
	2) Create a new empty folder in your home directory, or your desktop, 
anywhere you want
	3) Move *all* the files out of Library/Safari.
	4) Start Safari.

If this works, your bookmarks will be gone (they're in the 
"Bookmarks.plist" file). You could try opening it with TextEdit, but it 
probably won't make a whole lot of sense even if it isn't corrupted. 
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way for Safari to export or 
import bookmarks, so cross your fingers....
