To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill A Mockingbird

Somehow I missed reading this one in high school. Several different people commented with variations of, “You’re reading To Kill A Mockingbird? That’s so high school.” Well fie on them. Reading books wasn’t top priority for me in high school. There was procrastination to be done.

Mockingbird is easily one of my favorite books now. There’s something about knowing when something is well-written even if I can’t identify exactly why, and the book carries its themes and morals expertly without coming across too heavy-handed.

I’m gonna aspire to be like Harper Lee. Write one incredible novel, win a Pulitzer, and write no more. That’s called going out on top.
