Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

I have recently picked up Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. My brother in law recommended this book to me, and I love it! Basically, it is a nonfiction book written just like a novel. A writer from New York, John Berendt, goes to visit Savannah and decides to buy a townhome there for when he wants to visit. Before too long he ends up spending more time there than in New York. He gets to know the elite Savannahians. He is invited to lavish parties, meets antique dealers who are restoring the old city, makes friends with a drag queen, and gets thrown into the town gossip. I am halfway through the book, and if it weren't for my addiction to watching seasons of desperate housewives, I would be done with the book. Anyhow, this is a great read, and because it is non-fiction but read like a novel makes it even better.
