Virginia Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Her books had such an impact on American Southern literature. Its really spooky that I just started reading my digital library copy (Go Set A Watchman) last night. It JUST became available.

Madeleine Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 One of my all-time favourite books, very sad news. I've also just read that Umberto Eco has passed away as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It is difficult to pick a "best" book but To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is certainly one of, if not the, best books that I have read. She will be remembered by many. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
