To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

I just reread  Pulitzer Prize winning, To Kill A Mockingbird and was blown away again!   This novel of racial injustice in a small Southern town ranks among just about everyone's favorite books. The novel about a small Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it,  became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic. Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love, hatred and humor.  
I'm so looking forward to Harper  Lee's new book, Go Set A Watchman, that comes out on July 14, 2015.  Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Thought to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in 2014.
