"To Kill a Mockingbird" author dies at 89

[luv2fly]

One of my favorite books as a child. Required reading in school and it stuck with me. Having been born and raised in the South, it opened my eyes to the injustice of the past.

Have not read "Go Set a Watchman" but it is going to the top of my list.

Indeed. Mockingbird is one of the greats. Watchman is waiting in my "to read" pile at home.

I ordered a first edition "Go Set a Watchmen" immediately after I heard it was being released. I still haven't read it. I guess this is as good an excuse as any.

Read Mockingbird in school as well and agree how it sticks with you...Go Set a Watchman well get stuck in.... comparing the two books probably better suited in another thread at a later date .

We nearly called our 2nd daughter (Isla) Nelle after her! A great loss but a great innings and massive contribution to society!
