I have no clue how Harper Lee feels about her life, the success of it therein, etc. I suspect many writers without children wish they could view their books as their children--some say they DO view their books as their children, but I wonder how many actually do. (Voltaire, I believe it was, stated that if there were a fire, he would save his manuscripts. One hopes that that was because his children could run for themselves, but with Voltaire, you never know.)

Nevertheless, I think Harper Lee has given us something infinitely greater--in the sense of larger--than one child. Perhaps the book can influence someone to think better, more openly, live a better life. Who knows what long-range effects the book could have?]]> Horton Hatches the Egg (Classic Seuss) by Dr. Seuss]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4206034 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175618276s/536034.jpg 220104 Patricia http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1185975367p2/220104.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/220104-patricia Tue, 07 Aug 2007 09:20:41 -0700 more...]]> The Cat in the Hat (Hardcover) by Dr. Seuss]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4150075 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1207208751s/233093.jpg 220104 Patricia http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1185975367p2/220104.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/220104-patricia Mon, 06 Aug 2007 09:23:30 -0700 How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
