"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
Why I Chose This Goal: What self respecting writer could continue to read trashy paperback novels his whole life? Well Not me! This book has been arguably described as the best fiction by an American Author in the 20th century... and it comes highly recommended by my 15 year old son. He was assigned to read this in his 9th grade English class.
What I Did: Upon BMOs suggestion, I checked the book out of the local Public Library and read it from cover to cover in about a week. It turned out to be everything he said it was. I had tried to read Moby Dick and Catch-22... but after perusing the Cliff's notes decided neither was a good fit for my tastes.
This also makes it 4 of 12 books toward meeting goal #30.
