It's not a huge book, but it's got such a powerful story. It's also an easy read for most people and much less intimidated than many classics. <br /><br />Jeanne - It's true. I don't even know half of my neighbors now. Back then there was a sense of community. You helped out everyone around you. <br /><br />Jennifer - Indeed :)Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-81681653462472798662013-07-01T12:05:34.497-04:002013-07-01T12:05:34.497-04:00This is an interesting question to ponder...I am n...This is an interesting question to ponder...I am not sure yet.<br /><br />Hmmm...I must be one of the few people who doesn't find "To Kill a Mockingbird" to be all that memorable.

We live more on the surface of peoples' lives now, rarely going into their houses, as Jem was forced to, and we certainly don't see them dying bravely at home, as she did.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-78877379079407656392013-07-01T06:55:56.314-04:002013-07-01T06:55:56.314-04:00Oooooh, I've never done a CC meme before but t...Oooooh, I've never done a CC meme before but this is a goooood question (To Kill A Mockingbird totally did that for me.

She was one character that seriously creeped me out as a kid, so I guess I learned that lesson right along with Jem :)Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261580712036977730noreply@blogger.com
