I think Capote was fiction? I got into reading noir crime novels for a while; Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, I'd recommend Jim Thompson his stuff really holds up and he really lived done of the crime stuff he wrote about.
Capote wrote a lot of great fiction, but "In Cold Blood" that I referenced, was the true story of the murder of the Herb Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas by two ex-convicts. That worldwide best seller set the standard for generations for the true crime genre.
You'll be unable to put it down once you start it.
Dystopian, sci-fi, and anything written by Orson Scott Card.What types of books do you read, or do you read books at all?
But I didn't go to sleep. The truth is, I've got a monkey on my back, a habit worse than marijuana though not as expensive as heroin. I can stiff it out and get to sleep anyway--but it wasn't helping that I could see light in Stars tent and a silhouette that was no longer troubled by a dress.
The fact is I am a compulsive reader. Thirty-five cents' worth of Gold Medal Original will put me right to sleep. Or Perry Mason. But I'll read the ads in an old Paris-Match that has been used to wrap herring before I'll do without.
I got up and went around the tent. "Psst! Rufo."
"Yes, milord." He was up fast, a dagger in his hand.
"Look, is there anything to read around this dump?"
"What sort of thing?"
"Anything, just anything. Words in a row."
