I don't know, if a lot of people want to have this book in a Book Club, I have no objections. Legolas Send a noteboard - 24/05/2011 07:01:38 PM
I would bet that many Americans at least haven't read it in years and would find reading it now to be a different experience (an interesting point of discussion in itself). And from what I remember of the book clubs, people wouldn't have to read it again to participate if they didn't choose to.

There are tons of books that are more in need of attention and encouraging people to read them, is all.

Huh. I seem to have missed that. Camilla - 22/05/2011 11:17:11 PM 2265 Views
As you noted, though, it's a fuller depiction of the South than "racist people." Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 12:00:01 AM 2243 Views
It's a beautiful, incredible book. Rebekah - 22/05/2011 08:21:48 PM 2178 Views

Don't you think that, you know, too many people have read it already? Legolas - 23/05/2011 09:55:52 PM 2223 Views

Indeed. *NM* Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:37:38 AM 1105 Views

Suspect he knows that. *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 01:15:46 PM 1107 Views
Boy, that sarcastic subtext can be so hard to grasp in this virtual madness. *NM* Panorphaeon - 25/05/2011 06:49:03 AM 1114 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 1102 Views
So it survives being taught in school? Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:39:18 AM 2148 Views
Yup. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/05/2011 02:47:17 PM 1117 Views
I've met some, but it was a casualty of middle school English. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 07:40:27 PM 1025 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 2384 Views

Let me ask the politically incorrect questions, since no one else has. Tom - 24/05/2011 03:14:50 AM 2364 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 2330 Views
Hmm Camilla - 24/05/2011 10:22:50 AM 2266 Views
I could see your argument if Tolkien were writing about feminism. Tom - 24/05/2011 02:15:42 PM 2277 Views
I think that's a fair point. Legolas - 24/05/2011 07:00:04 PM 2290 Views
Calpurnia is a stereotype too. Tom - 24/05/2011 11:54:26 PM 2171 Views
The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. Legolas - 25/05/2011 08:09:58 PM 2150 Views

I think there was at least once incident showing a racist black person ßelals Girl - 24/05/2011 07:33:09 PM 2423 Views
