RICHARD'S TO DO LIST

DBApps will be shutting down on February 28.


This is a list of things I want to read/see/do, mainly of books and films. You can suggest things I should see or read by pressing the "Enter Record" button.

**Don't forget to put your name in the "Suggested by" field.
**Don't forget to give your book/film a priority - otherwise it might never get done!
Back to my Website!
