Peter Maass, war correspondent and occasional blogger, is chuffed. His book about the conflict in Bosnia -- Love thy Neighbor -- appears in a bedroom scene in High Fidelity, between John Cusack and his girlfriend.

The screenwriter, Peter has now discovered, thought the book would also show Cusack's girlfriend to be intelligent. That's the only reason I have it on my bookshelf, of course.Peter Maass
