Harper Lee RIP

That would be brilliant.  I confess that I bought Go Set a Watchman but just haven't picked it up yet.  

Jill, if you haven't read Mockingbird recently, it's probably worth reading it again before starting Watchman. I wish I had, but I've just picked up a copy for 20p at our bowling club, so I'm going to do just that and then have another go at Watchman. 

Apparently, 'go set a watchman' was written before 'mocking bird'. Haven't read mocking bird since school, may read watchman then mockng bird

Read it back in the early sixties but found it a bit turgid IIRC. Perhaps I should re-read it.

Jill don't pick it up til you have time not to put it down. Both books were amazing and I couldn't put either down much to the frustration of my better half. 

It's many years since I read To Kill A Mocking Bird so thanks for that Moulesy.   I thought I'd take both of them in the caravan at the end of the month Fur Ball.  That way I can shut myself in and, with a kettle/wine glass within reach, I could spend all day reading.     

What a fabulous impact her books made to people's lives! Thought provoking, enlightened, full of sadness, happiness, in fact every emotion is included but most of all they make very good reading which has had a profound impact in eliminating racial hatred in American society and spread multiculturalism across the world! 

I too loved Mockingbird. First read it at school, for my English Lit. 'O' level, but have reread it again. We also saw it performed on stage at the Manchester Royal Exchange theatre. Strong stuff indeed.

Sorry I posted here but decided to remove it because I did not wnat to spoil things for those who have yet to read Watchman.

All I will say is Watchman is not what you might think.
