    I just read a movie summary and seeing that Harper Lee is represented in it I'll probably go and get the movie when it's out on DVD. Thx for the tip. I think the relationship of these two great authors is intriguing, considering "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "In Cold Blood" being two of the...

    I havn't seen the movie 'cause Philip Seymour Hoffman playing Capote kinda freaks me out. But now that I've read the book, watching the movie has become an interesting option. I'm really looking forward to the "In Cold Blood" discussion next month.
