Hmm.... why? Is In Cold Blood somehow less gay? I'm confused by that comment.
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.

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."

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.

I finished the new Skulduggery Pleasant book this morning.
That fucking book.
That's all I can say right now.

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

Okay, I need to say this: Ghastly nononononononononononononono. I am not even remotely okay with that. I can't remember the last book that made me cry, but that did. (Twice, actually: I also cried when it seemed like China was going to die, and she and Skulduggery were talking, but then when she was okay and turned out to be the new Grand Mage -- because OF COURSE she is -- I laughed and pumped my fist in victory.
Also, I'm pretty sure my reaction to (hopefully semi-permanent) Darquesse is "wrong," because instead of being all "Nooooo!", I'm just "Huh. Let's see what happens, shall we?"
Also, Finbar Wrong is awesome.
And Scapegrace will never ever not be funny.

I 100% agree with all those points.
In general, way more happened than I expected or was prepared for, somehow.

I'm trying to remember the title and author of a book I read when I was a kid. It had to have been first published in the seventies or eighties. It was about a girl, whose name I think was Rachel but I could be wrong, who was preparing for her bat mitzvah. She was having the ceremony together with a friend, whose name I think started with a D, but I'm even less sure of that than I am of the main character being Rachel. Their Torah portion is Leviticus 18-19, and they split it in half, and Rachel (or whatever her name is) is annoyed that the other girl's half is all sorts of famous quotes and guidelines for being a good person, while her half is a long list of which relatives you're not supposed to uncover the nakedness of. I think the cover might have had a picture of them riding bikes, but I'm not really sure about that. I've tried every search I could think of, and got nothing. Anyone know what it was? This is driving me nuts.
