to kill a mockingbird.

I love that book. The movie is great too even though they messed around with story a bit. It has Gregory Peck in it!

Boo Radley!

Am I the only one who thinks the casting for Boo Radley was completely and utterly wrong? He looked like he should be in the Marines or something.

Yeah! I was talking to a friend about that the other day. I laughed when he came on screen.

We're reading it in my english class right now, I think it's pretty amazing. We have to get all in-depth and analyze a lot about it, I'm kind of thankful we have to, it made me understand it more.

im reading that in english too, and i love it!

i love the movie too!

did you know its banned in some school districts? a few towns over it got banned because the large community of mennonites there didnt like it. and it got banned in newfoundland because the black community thouht since it said the n-word it was offensive....weird eh? the book has such a nice message.

I read To Kill A Mockingbird last year in English class. I really liked the book, and the movie was pretty good, too. It was great, because we would have class discusions, and everyone would get into it and it would last basically the whole class period. :]

It's just been too long for me to remember the class discussions, heh.

[The Insurrectionist]

I love the message.
It's a great book.

The first half dragged on FOREVER. I understand that it was necessary to set their lifestyle up and everything, but really, nothing happened at all until the second part.

I didn't mind the droning and ramblingof the first part... MORE TIME TO DAYDREAM AND DROOL OVER GREGORY PECK!!! DAYUMM!!!

my best literary friend. i've literally grown up with this book. my mom first read it to me when i was about Scout's age. she read it to me and my brother every summer until we were old enough to read it ourselves. every time i pick up my worn copy, it's like greeting a friend i haven't seen in a year. i try to live my life based on the main principle of this book, and even got a tattoo as a reminder to myself.
i cannot say how much i love this book.

my boyfriend and I were recently discussing how Atticus Finch is one of the best literary characters ever written. if i ever have a boy, his name will most def be Atticus.

I just finished it, I love it. I loved when Scout tries to talk to Mr Cuningham and when the teacher goes on about how horrible prejudice is but then goes on about the African Americans getting above themselves. But again most people I know didn't like it.

Finally finished this (I get to read about 10 pages at work most days). I so enjoyed it. The characters are amazingly believable and the book doesn't preach but does have a lot to say about society and how we think of others.
