One of my favorites. :)


I can well believe it.
It has become one of mine as well. Quite suddenly. That does not happen as often as it used to anymore.

I reviewed it last year Larry - 22/05/2011 07:45:48 PM 1877 Views
Huh. I seem to have missed that. Camilla - 22/05/2011 11:17:11 PM 1798 Views
As you noted, though, it's a fuller depiction of the South than "racist people." Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 12:00:01 AM 1774 Views
It's a beautiful, incredible book. Rebekah - 22/05/2011 08:21:48 PM 1728 Views

Don't you think that, you know, too many people have read it already? Legolas - 23/05/2011 09:55:52 PM 1743 Views

Does that disqualify it? Sareitha Sedai - 24/05/2011 01:49:54 PM 1699 Views
I don't know, if a lot of people want to have this book in a Book Club, I have no objections. Legolas - 24/05/2011 07:01:38 PM 1685 Views
Well, that's true. Sareitha Sedai - 25/05/2011 01:20:54 PM 1802 Views
Loved that book. Tashmere - 22/05/2011 09:07:16 PM 1692 Views

“Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father’s passin’.” *NM* Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 12:03:34 AM 911 Views
Indeed. *NM* Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:37:38 AM 890 Views
Bah. This seems like a lame book. It will never catch on. Cannoli - 23/05/2011 01:31:10 AM 1828 Views
LOL *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 08:36:55 AM 858 Views
Hehehe. *NM* Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:38:03 AM 938 Views
Um, there's already a rfilm version of this. Panorphaeon - 23/05/2011 01:11:36 PM 1575 Views
Suspect he knows that. *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 01:15:46 PM 900 Views
Boy, that sarcastic subtext can be so hard to grasp in this virtual madness. *NM* Panorphaeon - 25/05/2011 06:49:03 AM 900 Views
I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like this book. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/05/2011 09:37:52 AM 890 Views
So it survives being taught in school? Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:39:18 AM 1689 Views
Yup. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/05/2011 02:47:17 PM 901 Views
I've met some, but it was a casualty of middle school English. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 07:40:27 PM 821 Views
One of my nieces didn't like it. I think it was because she was forced to read it for school. Tashmere - 24/05/2011 02:33:23 AM 1907 Views

Let me ask the politically incorrect questions, since no one else has. Tom - 24/05/2011 03:14:50 AM 1922 Views
I don't understand why having a guilty black man would have made it more powerful. Ghavrel - 24/05/2011 05:59:17 AM 1842 Views
Hmm Camilla - 24/05/2011 10:22:50 AM 1793 Views
I could see your argument if Tolkien were writing about feminism. Tom - 24/05/2011 02:15:42 PM 1812 Views
I think that's a fair point. Legolas - 24/05/2011 07:00:04 PM 1798 Views
Calpurnia is a stereotype too. Tom - 24/05/2011 11:54:26 PM 1733 Views
The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. Legolas - 25/05/2011 08:09:58 PM 1669 Views
Re: The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. Camilla - 25/05/2011 10:59:26 PM 1742 Views
Yes. This. *NM* Tom - 26/05/2011 04:56:48 AM 816 Views
I think there was at least once incident showing a racist black person ßelals Girl - 24/05/2011 07:33:09 PM 1925 Views
Almost a non-incident Tom - 24/05/2011 08:51:59 PM 1588 Views
I think it was written to accomplish a goal and it did that very well random thoughts - 25/05/2011 04:08:17 PM 1716 Views

And some poets - Tennyson and Yeats come to mind. *NM* Legolas - 13/06/2011 10:11:31 AM 806 Views
Keats? Camilla - 13/06/2011 10:14:58 AM 1775 Views
