One of my all time favourites
I first read this book about 30 years ago and it had a lasting impression on teenage me! I loved the ‘out there’ sense of humour and hadn’t read anything like it before. I have read it since as an adult and I still loved it. I love the fact that it manages to pick up so many different aspects of the human persona.

O Captain! My Captain!
Late 1950s set drama, with the late Robin Williams in full-on dramatic mode (as opposed to his usual comedy persona) as a schoolteacher with unconventional methods in a boys prep school who teaches his charges to 'seize the day'.
Later made a scapegoat when tragedy strikes, this is one of the earliest films I can remember where he, well, acted rather than clowned about!
