I would be willing to bet just about anything that the Capote work he teaches is In Cold Blood.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Hmm.... why? Is In Cold Blood somehow less gay? I'm confused by that comment.
Ok, just read Eleanor and Park. SO GOOD! But the ending made me want to cry. I mean, the whole book kind of did. But in a good way too.
I know. Me too. I wonder if the quasi ambiguity of the ending would drive my students batty?

Because books.
I finished Please Ignore Vera Dietz (which everyone should read right now), and will be going back to Eleanor and Park later tonight. I needed some fluffy Project Runway in between.

It just seems, of the Capote I've read, to be a more "manly" book, somehow. Like, I really couldn't see this guy teaching Breakfast at Tiffany's.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
It also seems to be the most canonical -- for most people, if you've read one thing by Capote, it's probably In Cold Blood.

That's all I can say right now.

Yup. I am not sure what I think? Except next book now, please.
