Last night and beyond

感谢水竹,感谢竹林子,感谢大家,我们又共度了一个愉快的夜晚。遗憾的是几位缺席的朋友未能与我们分享书堆中的快乐,我们也因此未能听到几位的“真知灼见”。
Something to note:
1. Harper Lee has a sister. In the novel Scout has a brother, Jem.
2. Dill in the book is based on her childhood friend, Truman Capote who later became an influential writer himself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truman_Capote
3. The Scopes Monkey Trial http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4723956 as depicted in the courtroom drama movie, Inherit the Wind, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053946/
4. Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061735/

Please add anything to this post that you think worth noting. Thanks.

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner 很不错,it makes you think and laugh. 深刻的主题在笑声中得以完全。
漂亮的女演员Katherine Hepburn(母亲)得了奥斯卡最佳女主角,Spencer Tracy(父亲) 在演这个电影时身体状况很差,快不久人世,不得不将自己的工资当作演这个电影的交换契约。真是电影里有电影!电影得了很多奖项。谢谢xihu推荐.
