I'm currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and it's really good so far in exploring what it was like growing up in the South of the United States and how hard it was.

I immensely enjoy reading these 'Classic' books.

I read Mockingbird a few years ago ... and the sequel Go Set a Watchman. As much as I prefer reading the book to watching the movie, I'll admit I preferred the movie more than I did her writing. Maybe it was just Gregory Peck 🤷‍♀️

I just finished Farenheit 451/Ray Bradbury which is January's pick for my local library book club. I can understand why it was banned in the 60's.

I have a bunch of these classic and banned reads on my shelf.

I've never read this book before and I've never read the sequel either. I can definitely understand how the movie would be more enjoyable with Gregory Peck.

I hope you enjoyed reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

So do I.

I read To Kill a Mockingbird last year for the first time and really enjoyed it, although I can see where its depiction of Black people may cause some objection today. I will probably read this one again.

Don't forget to participate in the Fahrenheit 451 discussion in August! I haven't read this one yet either but really looking forward to it.

Me too, Erica. I want to read it again in the future.
