Ted this is Glen (Steve and Evan's friend). You remember me of course. Anyhow, I would like to submit my ten fave movies of all time. I believe my list is quite possibly the most introspective of any you have yet to receive. Ta-ta mon ami, Glen (Ghu7097084@aol.com)

No order

(3.) Bottle Rocket
(4.) Permanent Midnight
(5.) Rio Bravo
(6.) The Great Escape
(7.) Less Than Zero
(8.) True Colors

I know this list is very nouveau in its creation, alas, some men were born to lead, and the rest were born to cry. Au revoir, Glen "Plays to win" Hudson

Ted I have a good qoute for you.

"Then I feel, Harry, that I have given away my whole soul to some one who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer's day." --Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

I have many more qoutes Ted, and if you are interested I would also like to send you some topoics and short stories I have written and would like posted. Write back with comments, Au revoir, Glen

These books kick ass, Adios, Glen

Of these books, Glen, I've read none. I think BE Ellis is overrated though. I like Maugham; I've read The Razor's Edge, Cakes and Tea and am currently reading Catalina. Of Steinbeck I thought that Tortilla Flat was one of the funniest books I've ever read, but that The Short Reign of Pippin IV was one of the worst attempts at satire I've ever read. Read Of Mice and Men when I was like 10; the Pearl was fine. The Hitler one sounds interesting. My favorite books:
