Breakfast at Tiffany's always reminds me of that Seinfeld episode. George tells Jerry that it's the book they are reading for book club and Jerry replies with "Truman Capote?"
George: Yeah
Jerry: Great writer!
George: Oh yeah
Jerry: You ever read any of his books
George: No? You?
Jerry: No
:)
I hadn't read any of Capote's work either, but I had the audio version of this book and I was looking for a short listen during a hockey game last week so I fired it up. It was a great story based on an interesting character. I loved the way Holly just rambled on and on and on sometimes.
I also found Capote's writing chock full of fantastic detail. I found I was feeling the story more than just listening to it.
A delightful listen. Highly recommended.
