July 13th Meeting - In Cold Blood

Thank you, Darla, for hosting our little group. You folks who couldn't make it, you missed out on good eats! Wonderful soup -- I know the ingredients but I don't know the name, a southwestern-flavor with ravioli. Plus enchiladas. And margaritas!

Let's see. People found In Cold Blood a bit of a tough read, and not everyone agreed with me that it was incredibly well-written. Then we watched "Capote," the movie, and found it very interesting. I had seen the movie before and enjoyed it much more this time, after having read the book. We agreed that Truman Capote was one strange dude. Oy, oy, I'm blanking, girls! I'd better start taking notes. I know we had a great time, enjoyed the discussion, and went home full. We all had kitchen envy too.

Next meeting
We will meet Wendesday, Augst 23rd, at Leann's, and we chose The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

Other books
A couple of us heard the NPR story, "Caution: These Books May Make You Skip Work" and were interested in the books discussed. I was intrigued by The Brief History of the Dead and ordered a copy.
