All great works of art teach us different things in each different stage of life we experience them. In fact, sometimes the greatest works tell us more about ourselves than anything else! I didn't read this earlier, so I've filed it under parenting in my first reading itself. :) Thanks, V.

I first read it when i was in school and at the time, it read more like "Adventures of Scout". I then read it when I was in college and it was all about justice and equality. I later read it when I was pregnant and it was all about good parenting.. A truly great book. Oh the nuances of this book..

I am less than half-way through the book. I sense a storm approaching. It has been a long time since I've cried reading a book...

It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." i cud go on... my favourite is when he says ‘they do nothing but sing their hearts out for us to enjoy. kill as many blue jays as you want, but remember, it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird’
