To kill a mockingbird

[osho]

I am reading this book and I find this book rather interesting and particularly something it narrates about racism and some social and cultural behaviors of his days. This book earned great popularity across the world and even movie has been made on this. Maybe many persons like this book and it was once in many schools' syllabus and has therefore something that adds to its relevance and worth

My favourite American novel. Authors who write about childhood without shoving it violently down your throat are rare indeed, but this novel pulls it off. Novels that preach about inequality are even rarer. This is such a novel. I don't think I've ever read anything from that side of the Atlantic with such a delicate hand but it remains in essence so cheerful and lively - like any healthy childhood.

A masterpiece.

Flannery O'Connor famously called it a "children's novel." I don't necessarily agree but I think O'Connor was the superior writer.

Fun Lit. trivia, Harper Lee grew up next door to Truman Capote.

If you like "To Kill a Mockingbird" you should read "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers.

I think I read somewhere that "Mockingbird" is the highest selling American novel of all time. Could be wrong about that though.
