Latest Book/Movie

Last night I finished Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. It was a good read, a true account of the Clutter Family murders in the 1950’s. I set the book down and immediately watched the movie “Capote” with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, an account of Capote’s life during the time he wrote In Cold Blood. For all the ways that books can change a reader, can change how we think, how we perceive people, events and life, this was a great movie about how writing this book changed the author. I highly recommend both, better paired than alone. I’m looking forward to another film coming out later in the year called “Infamous” about Capote, with Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee.
