2006 Book #5
Caught up in the hype over the movie Capote, I read In Cold Blood (which someone very kindly loaned me). The book is excellent, and the movie makes a heck of a lot more sense once you’ve read the book. (It is also possible that the movie made no sense the first time I saw it because I was watching it on a red-eye flight at 2 AM).

I guess I've never read it in part because I've doubted that it could live up to its reputation...
Book: engrossing. Read much of it right before seeing the flick. Movie: great. What helped me appreciate the movie, though, was not reading the book, but seeing an interview with Capote from the early 70s. Boy did Hoffman nail that guy! (So to speak.)
Taran: your logic is folly.
