To Kill A Mockingbird

[L Y N N]

I am so excited to finally reread this after 50 years! :) I'm going to try to get to it early in the month.

[Rob]

This is my favourite all time book. I have read it perhaps a dozen times. I have my mother's copy from about 1970 (it is pretty battered now!). It might be due for a reread.

[Emma]

I would like to join please!!

[Hanča]

I'm so ready to knock this one out. It was the first book I added to my TBR shelf when I joined goodreads so it's about damn time. :)

[Elisa]

May I join please ?
It's been ages I haven't decided myself to read a classic and I hope this one will reconcile me with it !

[Elisa]

I hope it's fine if I post another message since the other is from two days ago !

Well, I've read the entire first part (I'm at about 40% of the book) and boy. I think I just discovered I can like a classic. I can LOVE a classic. The characters are super interesting, I really like the style of the writing (knowing that I read it in English but my mother tongue is French), I had to concentrate for a bit about the names and the nicknames of the characters I didn't totally get at the beginning but it's all fine now.
Great read for the moment, I really like how smooth it is and how (and where) the actions goes !

Hope you all enjoy the book !

It's completely fine you joined and comment as much as you'd like, no worries! :) I just haven't started yet so I don't have anything to contribute with yet, sadly. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I will be reading this the upcoming weekend!

Update as of February 10. Did not get to it this weekend. Hopefully the weekend of February 15! :)

[Cassie]

I've got this on hold and will hopefully get it in time. It's been a long time since I've read it, I'm curious to see what I remember and how much my thoughts on it have changed!

[Misha]

This is so great because this book was on my reread list to read something from grade school and I can now read it with my buddies! I love books and the book community! Happy Reading!

[Rob]

I can't tell you how glad that makes me Elisa. I don't know why but I get really evangelical about this book.

[Tayo]

One of t he best reads of my childhood, I look forward to reading with everyone, It’s been over 35 years since I visited Jean Louise, Atticus, Jim and lil Dill. And Mr. Boo Radely.

[Tayo]

Great read I m excited

I'm about 1/4 through and realize that I probably missed much of the humor when I first read this 50+ years ago at age 12! :) I admire Harper's writing!

[Tayo]

I can truly say that rereading To Kill a Mockingbird is better than I had expected, and it has open my eyes to humor that I over looked or forgot written In the book.

Glad to hear I am not the only one! :)

This is just a gorgeous read, IMHO! I adore that (view spoiler)[ final scene with Scout standing directly in front of the window from which Boo observed the neighborhood...priceless! (hide spoiler)]

[Hanča]

I started properly just yesterday, I kept putting it off and suddenly February is almost over, lol. I always read the first few pages and then put it down. The writing is a bit hard for me, I worry that I'm missing stuff because of language and cultural barrier. I feel like I need to do some extra research for context but I don't want to spoil myself for the book.

[Elisa]

Aaaw I'm mad at myself, I had some problems during February and I didn't read for myself except at the very beginning of the month... I won't be able to finish To Kill a Mockingbird today but I'll do it as soon as possible ! It still interests me a lot !

[Hanča]

Same, Elisa. February raced away so quickly and I just couldn't finish it in time to save my life.
Feel free to keep using this thread if you end up getting to it soon.

[Rob]

I'll still read along! Let us know what you think.

@ Elisa Hanca Rob
I am willing to discuss whenever anyone else is. I am still trying to finish two books I pledged to read in February myself, just not this one! So you're not alone! :)
