Paula’s comments from the Read a Classic Challenge group.

- To Kill a Mockingbird
- Harper Leee
- First published 1960
- Number of Pages 336
- New Orleans, LA

I first read this book in high school when I lived in the Northeast and didn't understand racial injustice. Now reading it again nearly 50 years later, I have a much greater reaction to it after having lived in the deep South for the past 40 years. I am saddened to think that so many of the feelings expressed in this book still exist today between the whites and the blacks.

I wasn't very active in the 2012 version of the Read a Classic group. I hope to fix that this year. My contribution to the group is John Steinbeck's East of Eden. I read it in paperback - the Centennial edition (1902-2002) from Penguin books. It contained 601 pages.

Happy New Year and good reading in 2013!
