I have not. -- nm - kelly Jun 15, 07:57
Forced to read it in high school and it's likely my favorite 'literary importance' novel. - Will Hunting Jun 15, 07:49 1
- This would make a good poll. -- nm - Roger More Jun 15, 07:50
both read it and seen a stage prodcution -- nm - znufrii Jun 15, 07:34 3
- (and the movie, of course) -- nm - znufrii Jun 15, 07:35 2
  - And played Scout in a stage production - znu si Jun 15, 07:35 1
    - hee! - znufrii Jun 15, 07:36
Saw a stage production and loved it -- nm - SyrDragon Jun 15, 07:33
I'm still stunned that this is the only novel she wrote. - ty97 Jun 15, 07:31 4
- unless Truman Capote wrote it :P -- nm - Dano Jun 15, 07:39
- How do you top that though? (also, fwiw, she had a major role helping Capote on In Cold Blood.) -- nm - Don Homer Jun 15, 07:38 1
  - Yeah, that's what I mean. It's so amazing, anything else would have paled. - ty97 Jun 15, 07:40

Yes - I wonder if I'll be the only person to have read it by choice? -- nm - Roger More Jun 15, 07:28 3
- I'm presuming I would have, if I hadn't been forced to. - ty97 Jun 15, 07:36 1
  - That's sort of what I meant - it's such a standard school text in the US that I'd expect most people who've read it, read it in school -- nm - Roger More Jun 15, 07:49

Nope, but saw the movie -- nm - Redmond Jun 15, 07:25
Yes actually, but it was one of those forced reads from a high school English class -- nm - Shaun Jun 15, 07:22 2
- me too, yet it was one I didn't hate (I normally hated forced reads because they were forced reads) -- nm - ty97 Jun 15, 07:32
- ditto -- nm - JaxSean Jun 15, 07:27
Nope, never read it. I want to at some point. -- nm - Krusty Jun 15, 07:21 2
- ST Book Club Nominee! - ty97 Jun 15, 07:32 1
  - Good idea :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 15, 07:36
