Still think about the Clutters-- I have ICB at home. Sometimes I like to re-read parts of it to appreciate the masterful way Capote wrote. Every sentence was a gem. Oh, to be able to write like that!

I remember seeing the film and, not having had any breakfast except orange soda (UGH-- I know), after leaving the theater, I promptly threw up. And I don't think it was because of the orange soda.
