Hahaha... I like to check how Mr. Andersen traumatized many of us XD
I just checked the story (and movie) that you mention by Carson McCullers and reminds me a bit of the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Looks cool :)
Btw, about the recommended book, I could have mentioned The Heart of a Lonely Hunter, that was recommended by a super cool friend and I LOVED it :)) but I didn't add it to my list 'cause I don't really have the book (I borrowed it from the library)
Thanks for letting me take a look at your bookshelf! ^_^
