Breakfast at Tiffany's, the novel by Truman Capote, is turning 50 (in just 3 years, the film will do the same). USA Today takes a look at the classic, which The New Yorker called "empty nostalgia" at the time (Capote wrote a letter to the publication saying he was "hurt and dismayed" by the criticism). The story however, whether on paper or celluloid, has stood the test of time and remains a favorite amongst many...in fact, just a couple of years ago the iconic Givenchy black dress that Audrey Hepburn wore in the movie sold for $807,000 (how much will Carrie Bradshaw garb go for in 50 years?).

SHOP: Want to pick up some cheap(er) fashions by John Varvatos -- the rock n' roll designer taking over the CBGB space next year? Head to a sample sale today to get in on some 80% off clothing, footwear and accessories.

, it's a more disquieting and complex movie than you'd imagine from all of the cutesy Audrey Hepburn postcards.

Anyway, number five on the list is Deep Blue Something's Breakfast at Tiffany's (yes, we do think Truman Capote was rolling around in his grave), and Breakfast at Tiffany's is also the NY Times' Great Summer Read (you can read the first chapter here) this week. Tonight, Candace Bushnell will read from the book at the Time-Warner Center Borders bookstore.
