I read it recently and loved it. I loved Scout's voice and innocence, Atticus' courage, Jem's and Dill's adventurous spirit, Calpurnia's personality. I even liked Aunt Alexandra after a while. It is such a great classic.<br /><br />I loved the list of books that you read during your classics renaissance - all of them are wonderful!Vishyhttp://vishytheknight.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-41320191386720854742010-07-20T21:18:48.444+02:002010-07-20T21:18:48.444+02:00I have watched the movie many times over the years...I have watched the movie many times over the years although I've never read the book.

I think it was one of those books (along with The Great Gatsby) that really heightened my love of reading. I recently bought a new copy and stuck it right on my keeper shelf.

It is no wonder that you hear about people naming their kids Scout! I actually think it would be a dream to have access to a small library of classics...it would force me to just stop the insanity and read things I should have read years ago. You can't go wrong with that list!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
