The stories are entertaining as you read them, but their power comes through later. <br /><br />Good reminder to make Greene one of my Authors of the Day and get his bibliography posted as one of my lists. I do plan to read them all eventually.Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-52655078364122312352009-08-26T12:25:26.064-05:002009-08-26T12:25:26.064-05:00Care ~ Now *that's* a selling point for me! :-...Care ~ Now *that's* a selling point for me! :-)<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-48430441682160886042009-08-26T12:21:19.612-05:002009-08-26T12:21:19.612-05:00I read this for one of my personal read-book-see-m...I read this for one of my personal read-book-see-movie challenges.

Did you see the film of The Quiet American with Michael Caine? It was really great. There's a site which compares the 2002 and 1958 versions. I haven't seen the earlier one.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quiet_American_(2002_film)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.com
