A failed pilot from 1962, featuring Charles Manson (before his incarceration) and a star studded cast. Unfortunately, it was never picked up. So then, let us look into a window of the past!
LibraryThing has a feature where you can sort your books by order of the frequency in which they appear in other people’s libraries. These are the top ten books that I share with others:
Lenny Flatley is not a Wiccan, a Scientologist or a registered Democrat. He will never finish his long promised account of the six months he spent on the Womens PGA Tour (for liability reasons). He is currently listening to the song "Words" by Doves. If you must contact him, he prefers that you do it on myspace.

This country will give you a war if you want it, and it will give you all the consumer benefits of a system that creates war, if you want it, while keeping the war itself safely stashed away. And if you’re not satisfied, you can always get a lap dance.
