Breakfast at Tiffany's is a classic that was easy to read on a plane ride back to New York. Holly Golightly lives in New York of a different era, but Truman Capote makes the young heroine come alive as a self-made, other-worldly existence as her neighbor reminisces long after she's gone. I also especially enjoyed the last short story in this volume, "A Christmas Memory," which celebrates the important things during the holiday season. I was moved by the friendship between a boy and his elderly relative as they made fruitcakes together and Christmas presents for each other. A short, enjoyable read from the list of 1001 books you must read before you die.
