I got in a semi.... how do you say, confrontation? With my English teacher. 
(not Kelley 
) about why we had to read The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne (which in the end I did like, but that is beside the point) when I was desperate to read In Cold Blood.
She told me that it was "a bit too gory for our school's curriculum"
As if Witch Hunts and Guillotines are a lighter subject?!
Beside the point, I adore In Cold Blood and the film Capote is no let down either!
In Cold Blood chonicals the lives and murder of a Kansas family in the early 1960s.
