Now *THERE'S* a character!!

I was fortunate to have a really cool English teacher
in High School, who didn't cram this book down our throats,
but rather, showed us a *movie* based on the book.

"I would prefer not to" is a line from literature that
I will remember for the rest of my life!

... barring Alzheimer's, of course.

That's the one about a guy who's a total impostor, worming his way into
the lives of "normal" people, right? I seem to remember my brother
telling me about it, but I don't think I've read it yet. Looks like
I've got to get cracking!
