Crazy Loco | Stories by David Rice

This is a funny, sweet, wise, loopy book of short stories about kids growing up in Mexican-American families in South Texas.  Laughed and cried.  Wonderful.

Breakfast at Tiffany's: A Short Novel and Three Stories

Breakfast at Tiffany's, featuring Capote's most memorable character, Holly Golightly, is a breezy and captivating story with a perfect concoction of wit, dramatic confrontations, breathless innocence, and lost youth.  Lovely writing - I plan never to spoil it by seeing the movie!  The short stories in this volume were also quite wonderful....very evocative, often funny, and very touching.
