Just finished In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote

Just started Midnights Children, by Salman Rushdie

In cold blood made me feel bad for the murderers, one in particular. As well as many other people but I don’t think I’ve ever ready anything that makes you feel so bad for a murderer. I cried probably more than I should have. A fantastic read overall.

I don’t know anything going in. I’ve only seen that film with Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The Front Runner, by Patricia Nell Warren

In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote

I watched Capote when it came out in Theaters and for some reason I thought the movie was an adaptation of the book. I wasn't expecting the third person and first person narratives which are ingenious.

I finished In Cold Blood Paperback by Truman Capote. Cant stop telling people about the book. It is one of if not the best book I have read this year. I started Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky, not sure how I feel about it so far. I am about five chapters in waiting for something to happen.

Just finished The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoevsky And just started In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote

The Brothers Karamazov was fantastic, very insightful. I cried like a baby at the end. Alyosha might be my new favorite character from a book. But I think in reality I’m more of a Mitya...

Finished:
A Long Way Gone, by Ishmael Beah: A haunting memoir by the author’s experience as a child soldier. Both sides of the conflict contributed to the population’s suffering.
The Barrytown Trilogy, by Roddy Dole: A mixed slice of life and drama. I thought the first book was the weakest of the three.

Dropped: The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance, by Edmund de Waal: Felt like the ramblings of a 1%.

Just finished Atonement, by Ian McEwan

Really enjoyed it, felt for Briony throughout her adult life. The epilogue happened and I am hurt. It was very touching.

Next up I am starting In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote. I have started reading a Discworld book in between other reads and next up is Equal Rites, by Terry Pratchett and I am excited to meet the witches.

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

It's been a while since a book has captivated me on this level. But I kinda get the feeling that Capote wanted the reader to feel sorry for Perry on some level, and villify Dick. Even though Perry could've backed out at any time.

Foundation by Isaac Asimov

Interesting concept, but it was very hard for me to care about anything that was happening because of how short the book is and the constant switching up of characters.

The Indifferent Stars Above by Daniel James Brown

Pretty interesting so far.

In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote.

I always see this recommended here and decided to pick it up. It's a harrowing true crime novel about the senseless murders of a family on their farm by two strangers. I've really enjoyed the long set up and how deeply Capote delves into the victims, their murderers, as well as the police investigating the crime, though it doesn't make the account any less chilling.

Finished Beware of Pity, by Stefan Zweig. An interesting book on many levels but a good 100 pages too long.

Just started In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote. Only 30 or so pages in but already gripped.

Just finished In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote. It's the first of his books that I've read and I thought it was superb. As a writer he really has a great eye for detail and ear for dialogue and he's brilliant at bringing people and place to life. can't recommend this book enough - especially for lovers of true crime.
