Hands-down the best book I’ve read this year. Truman Capote’s non-fiction novel tells the 1959 murders of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas and the ensuing investigation. Capote’s wonderful writing reminds me of other great reads I had – ...

Books 48 and 49 were small holiday books that I read while killing time at church last night, on Christmas Eve. :) Christmas Angels and Silent Night My goals for 50 in 09 were to read 50 English books and 3 German books.
