U Said It

The Thirteenth Tale

By Diane Setterfield

"It's my profession.  I'm a storyteller."

"I am a biographer, I work with facts."

Margaret Lea, a biographer more interested in those long dead than the living, is summoned unexpectedly to transcribe the long-hidden story of Vida Winter, England's most famous living novelist.  As the tale unfolds, Margaret confronts the mysteries of Miss Winter's past and the ghosts of her own.  A tale of twins, lies, and buried secrets, Diane  Setterfield's novel reveals the importance of family and the power of the truth.

The Prestige

Rated PG-13

The Prestige travels through a world of magic, intrigue, and showmanship.  Rival magicians, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), battle to become the biggest name in professional magic in turn-of-the-century London.  An obsession with revenge dominates the men's lives until they destroy everything and everyone around them.  Also appearing in the film are David Bowie as Nicola Tesla, Michael Caine as Cutter, and Scarlett Johansson as Angier's assistant Olivia Wenscombe.  Like a true magic act, the movie keeps the audience dazzled, spellbround, and guessing until the last possible second.

Three penguins were standing on the top of a snow-covered hill.  The first penguin said, "I think I'll try to slide down the side of this hill."  So he jumped with a loud "WHEEE!", and down he went.  The second penguin said, "Hey, that looks like fun."  So he jumped down with a yell of "Wheee!" and down he went.  The third penguin said, "Well, I guess I can do that , too."  He jumped off and screamed, "I'M A RADIO!!!"
