I have an autographed copy of To Kill a Mockingbird from the 40th edition re-release. I keep it in a glass box next to my first edition Huckleberry Finn (I know!)<br /><br />3. I am angling to name our next daughter Harper. Still working on that one.Melanie Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489615939726209573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-72100060222802401152010-07-20T19:15:09.936-07:002010-07-20T19:15:09.936-07:00Ya know, I have never read the book...only seen th...Ya know, I have never read the book...only seen the movie.<br />books are always better. so much deeper.<br />I better get to reading it eh<br /><br />interesting that the author never wrote another bookwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619293936418976914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-29292223399576486982010-07-19T19:24:32.635-07:002010-07-19T19:24:32.635-07:00I really loved that book and movie.

I can use almost any other format. But Kindle is exclusive (kinda like Apple iTunes) and therefore not loadable on the Nook.

I know! You didn't think I was that deep, huh? <br /><br />I've always thought of it as a story about emerging from darkness into light. Even without having seen the movie, the image of Atticus illuminated under that single bulb as he faces down that mob which is still in darkness is incredibly evocative. And there is so much to be said about the "Christian" missionary woman who is the only character in the book to use the word "darkie".<br /><br />Start to finish, it's a beautiful story that everyone should read at least twice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532225334730948057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-82700055807200121332010-07-19T15:32:03.662-07:002010-07-19T15:32:03.662-07:00I'll offer "Alma the Younger" (the b...I'll offer "Alma the Younger" (the book, that is) as one of the prizes for Wednesday :)Heather Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11634399663804195312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-78278282706292921532010-07-19T15:18:13.383-07:002010-07-19T15:18:13.383-07:00Man!

Of course, by the time we had our girls we we actually Boy Scout Leaders... so it lost it's appeal a bit.<br /><br />Still love - I think I should re-read it in honor of the anniversary :)TisforTonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666161027683872670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-61705400496836364252010-07-19T14:26:40.464-07:002010-07-19T14:26:40.464-07:00I've only read this book once, in high school,...I've only read this book once, in high school, but I loved it.<br /><br />I have an acquantaince who named her little girl, Scout.
