To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
I feel that Capote, the film, increased the sales of Mockingbird, much more than "In Cold Blood". Probably because the way the loyal character of Harper was portrayed, and it made people want to perceive what she would write, vis-a-vis Truman, who was etched into our minds to the extent that we could predict the entire text of "In Cold Blood" by watching the movie.
I picked up the last copy of this book from B&N, today, and has it become my commute-buddy!
Highly recommended.
In other news, stumbled across this song after much hunting and searching! It was on a very early French lounge album, that featured Andre Bocelli's work, dating back to the mid 90s. The song's called "You Take My Breath Away" by Sarah Brightman and Andre Bocelli, and is primarily awesome cuz of the sampled and string-bassed usage of Asha Bhosle's "Dil Cheez Kya Hai" from the original Umrao Jaan. Its legit, because of the build and transition into a semi-African rhythm/vocal piece. It also borrows a flute interlude that sounds suspiciously like an element from the background score of Gupt (Viju Shah's music).
Don't lose patience with this track. It has the tremendous ability to grow on you. Plus its rare.
Anyhow - here it is, youngeons. Now be gone! ;-)
