RANDOM BOOK OF THE DAY


'IN COLD BLOOD'

Truman Capote



"It doesn’t make sense. I mean what happened. It had nothing to do with the Clutters. They never hurt me. They just happened to be there. I thought Mr. Clutter was a very nice gentleman… I thought so right up to the time I cut his throat. … [his last words] I’d like to apologise, but… who to?"

– Perry Smith, in “In Cold Blood” Truman Capote
