the books I send to the inmate charities are ones I get expressly for that purpose, so its a sort of double bonus---the inmates get books and the thrift stores/library sales I get them from get some dollars too. my local library manager actually sometimes just gives me books because she knows what im doing with them, and it also clears up some shelf space.
Mentioning "Streetcar Named Desire", it occured to me that from "Gonne with the Wind" main acress, Vivien Leigh, is an undoubdfully beautiful woman, but the same film made in 1995 with Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange, I must say that she is much better actress. If it was possible to make a film with Brando and Lange, it would be a great remake or adaptation (I am not sure which expression to use. :confused5:)
