I may just make it a goal to read one weird book per month, just like I'm doing with classics. It's nice to mix things up. <br /><br />I don't know what I expected from Capote but I was impressed. One of our group members said he was only 17 when he wrote Other Voices, Other Rooms and 23 when it was published. It's an impressive piece of work, regardless, but doubly impressive because of his youth. I hope you get to read him soon!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-40841116374569507702016-03-21T00:05:11.167-05:002016-03-21T00:05:11.167-05:00You picked some great weird books for the #weirdat...You picked some great weird books for the #weirdathon. I kind of wish the #wierdathon would go on all year! Truman Capote books are books I have always wanted to read. I'm surprised I haven't picked one up yet.

So, when the mule showed up I thought, "Hey! Sure enough!" And, then, of course, he met with tragedy. Poor mule.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-26364659390276705002016-03-17T21:36:07.726-05:002016-03-17T21:36:07.726-05:00It's weird, all right. :) I enjoyed the crazin...It's weird, all right. :) I enjoyed the craziness.
