Have you ever watched or read ''flowers for algernon''? I like the book more than the movie.

Nope.


But I know it's also called "Charly."

I read it in high school because they made me. Didn't care for it one way or the other.

 

[Trevelyan]

One of the few early required readings that I really enjoyed.

 

[Liviathan]

Read the book back in high school, never seen the movie.

high school? We had to read this book in fifth or sixth grade.

A better question is have you read Teddy by J.D. Salinger? It's the same story.

 

[Gurck]

They made two movies out of the book.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062794/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210044/

They were ok, the book was better.

my favorite line from the first movie:
cop 1: "what you doing out here?"
Charley: "waiting fo it to rain"
cop 1: "idiot"
cop 2: "stupid
