Though I have already shared a recommendation for today, I must give you another, unofficial one: "Charade". It's a simply wonderful film with Audrey Hepburn (I am quite enjoying her lately).

Fact of the Minute

After publishing "In Cold Blood", Truman Capote never finished another book.

Yes, Mr. Vonnegut?

A local pizzeria has a pizza called the "Slaughterhouse Five". I'm not quite sure what's on it... Perhaps burned books, even if that is "Fahrenheit 451".
