Name: Chris Betts City: Columbia   ["To Kill a Mockingbird" is] the definitive study on the race problem here in the U.S. Name: Kathy Turner City: Columbia   When I first heard that "To Kill a Mockingbird" was selected this year, I was a bit disappointed, feeling like most people had already read it. I had been hoping for something "fresh." Now that I've re-read the book, my outlook has changed 100%. The book truly was "fresh" for me, so many years after my first reading of it. Reading it at a much different point in my life and realizing how many details I actually had forgotten made me change my tune. I also have much more appreciation of the quality of the writing this time around. As it turns out, this is a WONDERFUL selection for a group read! Name: Pat Sanders City: Columbia Name: Caitlin McGrath City: Fulton   I'm 13 and in Mrs. Steffans 8th grade class and I have had this book for a couple years and never thought to pick it up. Then we started reading it in her class and I couldn't put it down. In the last 2 weeks I have read it 2 times. It really is a good book--no book can top this. Everyone should read it. Name: Peggy Luebbert City: Jefferson City   I have taught this book to my freshmen English classes for twenty+ years, and each year I enjoy this book more and more. Name: Vicki Russell City: Columbia   What a treat to re-read this book, which I had not done for decades. I had forgotten how droll Scout's commentary was and found myself laughing out loud. Of course, the more compelling parts are just as urgent as when the book was first released. Name: Janine City: Brisbane, Australia   What a wonderful idea! I wish we had something like this set up in Brisbane. Name: Tina Norris City: Columbia   I have shared all the programs with many of my colleagues. Great book choice and fabulous programs to promote the book! Name: Joan Hampton City: Columbia Name: Barb City: Columbia Name: Carolyn Mullanix City: Columbia Name: Marilyn Bentley City: Columbia Name: Phyllis Melton City: Columbia   I think this is a wonderful idea! It regenerates the interest in reading a book and helps bring people together in a world of computer isolation. Name: Barbara Chailland City: Fulton   The book is read by eighth grade students every year in Mrs. Steffens' classes. She forced me to read it a couple of years ago. Great novel. Name: Elinor Barrett City: Boonville   An outstanding line up of programs. Thank you for providing this for our community! Name: Lisa Meyers City: Columbia   Great Book! Name: Hollis Stolz City: Columbia   Looking forward to the discussions and activities for such a great book.
