Heh, I didn't take it as shitting on anything, I was merely sharing some non-fiction stuff I'd enjoyed since you said you're more likely to read such (along with news, etc.) than a novel. Nothing more to it than that.

Now, enough about books. Let's wrestle.

I enjoy non-fiction as well, Scrof. Last NF book I started was Camus: Notebooks 1935-1951. Great stuff, and very approachable, whether or not you've read his fiction (also great).

A non-fiction favorite that springs to mind would be Capote's In Cold Blood. Interesting to me that not one, but two films about Capote came out in the same year. The one featuring Hoffman got all the attention, especially with his death not too long afterwards, but Infamous, with Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee. And Daniel Craig as one of the killers is very good as well.

*gasp*
I didn't know there was a second movie bout Capote writing In Cold Blood (I have a first edition hard cover in the orig dust jacket. Sadly not signed).
I will feverishly search Netflix -- you recall the title? I can Google it.
 
It's called Infamous. I actually prefer it to the other one, the guy playing Capote actually looks like Capote. Keeps very close to the book all around, definitely check it out.
 
I'm a huge fan of Truman Capote -- short stories n novels alike
So anyone wanna talk Truman I'm willing.
I don't wanna wrestle. I'm a non-athlete.
 
Breakfast at Tiffany's is the only other thing I've read by him, and I enjoyed it. I'm in such a reading slump, at least as far as novels are concerned. Checked out a book from the library the other day and haven't even glanced at the first page. I never finished the last book I checked out either, but I did like what I read of it. Was called My Education: A Book of Dreams, by ol Willy Burroughs. Interesting getting into his head from a non-fiction perspective
 
It's been science fiction reading for me lately namely space operas or whatever the fuck their called. Been enjoying Alastair Reynolds 'Revelation Space' series.

Oh, and I got a boxful of used Dean Koontz novels for free from a friend. Never bothered to read his stuff before but so far I've read 'The bad Place' and it was pretty good.

You should find capotes short stories. There are several dif anthologies of them n they are EXCELLENT. Total variety of nostalgic ones / mystery ones/ creepy ones/ allllll interesting.
They found an unpublished story in his stuff n someone came forward n had it published after he died.... I mean Recently like 2014 or something. my memory is awful but it had the word "summer" in its title I think. It's a short little novella like Breakfast At Tiff was.
 
I want to read that Dreams one by Burroughs never heard of it. I have a lot of Kerouac, Pynchon and Wallace to read when I am done the last 100 pages or so of the book I've been reading by Crowley.

Relapsed on oxy's I got them over 2 weeks early somehow. No idea how that even happened I think it was the sheer willpower, and a new employee who filled them. I will never know, but now I find myself a little sick. I've been keeping active, eating healthy just ignoring it really.

What is bothering me more is that I am doing a fast taper and I am not depressed from this as the symptoms are mild enough so as to not induce depression to begin with. Just low energy. I had a to figure out why I was so sad and it is because I miss her. She is on vacation for 3 weeks and I wasn't anticipating missing her. It is going to be harder to deal with than this oxy shit which I've already done too many times to count. I'm thinking of writing in my journal and how her and I met and what we've been up to. I didn't realize I liked her this much, that I would miss her. We work a lot of the same shifts and they just won't be the same these next few weeks. Just walked through the snow for a couple hours to clear my mind. Reading is nice in light withdrawal. I didn't realize how much I like her, that I would even miss her this bad and when she gets home is when we would begin dating if we are going to; we have some fun plans. Keeping busy is ideal during times like these, and that 2 hour walk through the snow pretty much took my mild withdrawals away.

Can't say I regret taking the oxy's but I got high for a week and just have to endure some light withdrawals. Damn do I miss the girl though and I had no idea I would feel that way at all. Had no idea why I was sad today. I am cheerful most of the time these days even when I slip and have mild withdrawals from using for 5 days or however long. Then I realized I missed her, hit me hard at that time how much I really like her. We work a lot of the same shifts they are not going to be the same while she's gone. That feeling will pass, just was not expecting it.

^^^ that was my first sign that i had fallen in love with that professor I've written about. Years ago he was embarking on a trip to Europe over the Christmas holiday from the college. I took him a gift as we had become good friends; I gave him the first hug ever and realized ohhhhh I'm gonna miss him while he's so far away. ....

That's when I knew I actually loved the dude.
 
Ugh, getting cold again, not liking it one bit. >:(

Had some Chinese for dinner, and now I'm thinking it's about beer thirty, gonna ride downtown and spy with my little eye what, if anything, might be gettin' up ta get down.

*attempts sexy walk out of thread*
 
Already did mine. Had to laugh, some of the family accused me of going around my old dope spots, I'm an hour away and watched constantly. Lol gotta love family
