If you havent seen the movie, watch it also. Gregory Peck is Atticus. I saw the movie before I ever read the book. I named one of my girls Scout in honor of this book. Love it.
Too many books to read and not enough time to read them. I remember reading C.S. Lewis' biography e few years ago and was amazed at how many books he had read by age twelve. He grew up in a house where essentially they did what they pleased and had a very large library. I remember just thirsting for books as a kid and in desperatin read whatever I could find on our book shelves.

Truman Capote visited his aunt in Monroeville AL as a child. She assisted him working on In Cold Blood. He was jealous of her success with Mockingbird & started the rumor that he helped write it. The friendship did not endure.
