The Number 23

Trivia: In an interview, Jim Carrey admitted to being obsessed with the number twenty-three.

Factual error: Right after Walter has the nightmare about killing his wife, he wakes up and turns around to see the alarm clock show 11:12. The clock makes a flipping sound when it switches to the next minute, just like those alarm clocks from the 1980s that have those little numbered plastic cards inside. However, it's a digital alarm clock and they do not make such sounds.

Walter Sparrow: Of course time is just a counting system... numbers with meanings attached to them.

Question: Why did Agatha pick the book off the shelf in the bookstore over other books?

Answer: A guess: it matched the colour of the walls that she had chosen (red). It's also shown sitting on the shelf, facing outwards, making it more obvious.
