Music for Chameleons: New Writings by Truman Capote hosted by Ed

Great evening folks. Small group but fun. Thanks to everyone who was able to come out to Tampico's to join Ed as we discussed his book choice Music for Chameleons: New Writings by Truman Capote 
Music for Chameleons is a collection of short stories fiction and non-fiction and for a couple that was fine but some not so fine. Kat wants more. She says short stories end to fast and don't go into a enough depth but she did like the stories she just wanted more out of them. LOL.
Brenny loved the Marilyn Monroe story best and Ed loved the Pearl Bailey story. Truman Capote's writing was simple, direct and grabbed your attention. Barbara and Jan loved all the stories except the Handcarved coffins but that was someone else's fav I  think. Jan hated the cliff hanger and how the story stopped abruptly.
After reading these short stories some were fascinated with Truman Capote's life and are ready to read "In Cold Blood

Couple of news making funnies for the night 

  • Brenny may have broke her toe putting on her pants. the broken part not so funny.  
  • learned her lesson and she won't be.....well.....what was said at the meeting will stay at the meeting. Should have been there.
  • She actually READ the book and didn't just listen to it.
Drum rolllllllll please...

Be there or be square.  Maybe Lisa Rhodes will play us a tune on her accordion. Maybe jingle bells? It could happen.
