... Flying, George Orwell ... he is also threatening me with Other Voices, Other Rooms, by Truman Capote. After reading In Cold Blood, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Answered Prayers- and finding them all a bit >meh< I would consider myself to not be a Capote fan AT ALL

The most famous one, and I think you might have read it: In cold blood by Truman Capote. Interested in it myself as well, curious for the suggestions.

Hi Belva - I plan on starting it tonight! I've only read Capote's In Cold Blood. I trust this book will be different. :) Hey space - I didn't realize how lucky I was to get a signed copy until alphaorder clued me in!

#57 boulder_a_t, I read In cold blood half a year ago, and also would call it great. Very intriguing and shocking.

Good week. Finished In Cold Blood. Great book. Started Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, lots of fun, but I hadn't read the original, so I've put it down for a while and picked up Pride and Prejudice. Really like it and make Zombies even funnier. Also jumping around in The Fireside Bo ...

You've got some great books to look forward to! I've read a few of them: In Cold Blood - terrific and ageless. See the movie Capote too, if you have a chance; it's about the writing of the book My Antonia quite lyrical, as always with Cather Child 44 a wonderful mystery in a ...

From wflooter480's library I would pick Truman Capote's In Cold Blood as it's a title I really do want to pick up at some point in the not too distant future. For those that like a little humour with their mystery/crime writings then I would recommend one of Christopher Brookmyre's ...

I loved In Cold Blood. It is one of my favorite books. Capote did an amazing job of telling the story without disrespecting the Clutter family. He takes you inside the killers' minds and tells you how it all happened through their eyes. It really shows how things can get out of hand so quickly. ...

I think, as a general rule, I will continue to avoid this genre. I have the feeling that books of the quality of In Cold Blood are probably rare. I think the main difference - beyond the talent of the authors - was that Capote was an outsider and had to learn about the history of the ...

25. In cold blood by Truman Capote Wow, what a book and what a story. And maybe the most amazing is that it really happened. How can two people even get in mind to kill a family they don't even know? A terrifying story about a terrible murder and the way the killers feel about it. They don't ...

I finished In Cold Blood and for #72, boekenwijs a mini review follows. Beware spoilers abound. I assume the story is well known to most. An excellent insight to a terrible crime.

Chiming in on In Cold Blood: the one glaring problem that I have with the book is that Capote's sympathies seem to lie more with the perpetrators of the crime than with the victims. The writing is excellent, but I have a hard time getting over that. Maybe it is just me, but that is how I see ...

... Question: what are you going to read first? I am reduced to checking out the local charity shops. For $1.50 I bought In Cold Blood, When we were orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro and an Arthur C Clarke

Well, I finished In Cold Blood which grew on me after a while (after 14 hours of audiobook listening, that is). I finished The Killing Circle, which I'll try to review later today (excellent thriller). I am half-way through Perfect Daughters but it has to go back to the library today so ...

... current paucity of entertainment. I hope the duress part won't prevent you from being open to the manifold beauties of In Cold Blood. Try mightily to see the book and not the cudgel! The Killing Circle looks wonderful! I've preordered it. I don't know HOW to thank you for bringing ...

For those discussing In Cold Blood, a book that is close to that one, in terms of being a riveting "true" story about crime that is horrifying all the while you can't put it down, is The Executioner's Song by Norman Mailer. I put "true" in quotes because I believe Mailer called the book a novel, ...

#86. Washington's Lady sounds fascinating. I'll add this to my to be read pile. #72 and #74 In Cold Blood is one of those books that you hate to love...I read this a very long time ago and then re read it last year -- gained more insights. I previously thought Capote was an over rated ...

#72, 74 - I think In Cold Blood is another book that I might have to reread. I read it for one of my high school English classes, and I remember thinking that it was unnecessarily long and getting rather frustrated with the seemingly irrelevant details that Capote kept sprinkling in. Then again, ...

#72 - I read In Cold Blood a couple of weeks ago, and I had pretty much the same reaction. In my head I kept thinking "oh, please no" but then, you know, it did happen. Strangely (or maybe not so strangely, since I think this is probably a big part of what Capote was trying to do) I also grew ...

Currently reading In Cold Blood. So far I like it, but I almost don't want to continue reading because I am getting really attached to the Clutter family and I know what happens to them.

In one of my reading assignments for that 12th Grade English Class I decided to read Truman Capote's In Cold Blood which I really liked but considering it was based on actual events it was kind of depressing too.

... It was a relief to finally close the cover of the latest one and get on with something a bit more interesting! Book 21:In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.

The best I've read this year is In Cold Blood

My read-of-the-month for April is In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. Although it only just scrapes in as an April read, nothing else was particularly inspiring. I've had a 'light reading' type of month. Lots of Falco!

14) In Cold Blood by Truman Capote This isn't exactly what I typically read, so I wasn't quite sure how I would feel about it. It started out kind of slow, but eventually as I read on the story really grabbed me. Capote managed to show the human behind the murderers and really make me ...

Started "Entering Hades" (no touchstone) by John Leake last night. In Cold Blood it is not, but it's interesting enough so far for me to keep reading. It's about a series of murders that took place in Los Angeles and Austria in the early 1990s, the cops who investigated (on both continents), ...

In Cold Blood... I read this book long before Capote ever came out. It scared the crap out of me. Also, the original movie based on the work is a classic.

... you made any progress with the book? I've been very interested to find out why Lee didn't write any more books! I read In Cold Blood too this summer after seeing Capote, excellent book. Bet Truman's heirs are thrilled, as I'm sure we're not the only ones! Keep us posted :-)

Well, I surprised myself and have finished both works already, so I am moving onto Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. I have the recent film on DVD - which I believe tells the tale of the writing of this book - but haven't watched it yet: I prefer to read in advance the book from which the ...
