How about "Catch 22" for novel and "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Das Boot" as my favourites, mark

 

Still love Jaws as a film. Books: A prayer for Owen Meany; The Wasp Factory

 

Educating Rita (film) & James Herbert's, The Rats (had to read it in one sitting). Just couldn't put it down. It was the 1st book I read without any pictures in. I was 9.

 

Braggart! ........... and in ONE sitting, (synonym for braggart but has more syllables and thusly is more impressive)!

 

He's flaming you Twirly ..... don't take it!

 

Ignore him Twirly, he's just trying to get his no. of posts up and knock off Lucky L from the top 15 posters.

 

Wasn't because I was clever. Was 'cos I was too scared to close my eyes in case 'they' got me!!!

Hi
Sound of Music; kids favorite, on video, always. Book, James Mitchner; The Drifters; I knew most of the main characters. Spike Milligan; Hitler, my part in his downfall resonates.
