Add me as a recommendation for To Kill a Mockingbird. In addition to being a great-a-whole-lot-of-things, it's a great coming of age story from Scout's point of view. Not sure how unsettling a book you want to consider, but Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro would fit this category and is an ...

Here's what I have read so far in 2008: 1. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee -- probably my 50th re-reading of it. It is still my favorite book. 2. Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. Read this for my book club. It was inspiring for all of us, and led to a ...

#51 rickinrhombus - That sounds great to me! To Kill a Mockingbird is at the top of my list of favorite books. Each time I read it, I get lost in their little world. I never fail to laugh and cry my way through the book.

... - Haruki Murakami, always a favorite Tree of Smoke - Denis Johnson, took me a while to get into but definitely worth it To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee, yes, a first read for me and so worth the "hype" :) Soul Thief - Charles Baxter, one I might need to reread to totally figure it out ...

I went to the bookstore today and bought: Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Fruits Basket Vol. 15 by Natsuki Takaya They're all books I've read before and enjoyed.

I agree, To Kill a Mockingbird is not only the best T-book, but one of the best books in the entire list. I don't know of too many other dramas with such perfect characters, themes, plots and conflict. But since it is hardly a fair contest to the other T-Books, of which many are great books, I ...

... I own a lot of the T-titles, but I haven't actually read that many of them. I guess the best of the bunch was To Kill a Mockingbird, although I read it a very long time ago.

I note To Kill a Mockingbird on your list. This is my all-time favorite book...right up there with A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.

... his history - Kenneth Allsop 10. Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse 11. Origin of Species - Charles Darwin 12. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 13. The Black Swan: the Impact of the Highly Improbable - Nassim Nicholas Taleb 14. Bone: Lejos de Boneville - ...

... in the Gangster category. Finally, the one number one that I have absolutely no beef with at all.....drumroll please.....To Kill A Mockingbird. Great book, great movie. I cried at the clips they showed, and since they only showed about 3 minutes worth and from various scenes, I think that's ...

... Every few years, I reread it just to keep it's lessons fresh. The same year I first read The Chosen, I also read To Kill a Mockingbird, Night by Elie Weisel, The Color Purple, and All Quiet on the Western Front - All of which are staples in my library and my life.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Great question, Nickelini. The most commonly shared book in this group (after "1001" itself) is To Kill a Mockingbird. That's not to say everyone's read it, but it's also a likely candidate.

... little girl's nickmane was Scout, her real name was Jean Louise. This happens to also be my name and when I first read To Kill a Mockingbird I really identified with the tom boy that shared my real name! (But, honestly, I don't think many people know Scout's real name.) And as for ...

TLCrawford in Book talk : One Man's Junk.... (Jun 10, 2008, 9:41am)

... for over $100. FYI This is a YA series written in Cincinnati Ohio in the 1920's. Harper Lee mentions The Gray Ghost in To Kill a Mockingbird. The sad thing is that so many people consider books to be little more than trash regardless of title or condition.

#18 I just finished To Kill A Mockingbird and loved it. I hope you will too.

#47 I have the same problems with sarcasm. I could not get through To Kill a Mocking Bird, maybe I'll try it again in a few years. Who defines the classics anyways????

So far this month, I have read Evolution, Me, and Other Freaks of Nature and Claws. I plan to read To Kill a Mockingbird next.

Having read and recorded a story for my mum, definetly pick very short chapters. to kill a mockingbird is not long, and has fairly short chapters, but each was taking 30mins+ to read out loud. The whole book - 300 pages at most was about 17hrs of speach. Reading aloud is much much slower ...

To Kill a Mockingbird is read and my review joins the other 223 of this great work. Shootingstar: how about The Alcestiad just because it's a got a strange name and isn't reviewed by anyone. For me please choose anything not tagged unowned.

#31 - To Kill a Mockingbird tops my lists for Best Book I Was Ever Required to Read, Best Book I Read While In High School, and quite possibly Best Book I've Ever Read In My Life Thus Far. :)

I just can't answer that. I am pulled in too many directions. I could say To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It took me some place like Dorothy was taken to Oz. But I am seduced by some books where the authors are still alive and want to discuss them. So that is not fair. Would I still like ...

To Kill A Mockingbird--not even in high school did I have to read this one.

What about To Kill a Mockingbird? The prose is simple as far as I can remember and it's such a classic and lovable story. Farenheit 451 is another simple classic. Animal Farm and Anthem, too. What about Agatha Christie mysteries? I second the Cat Who books as well. And this may ...

SqueakyChu, Mockingbird was her fav until she read Outsiders. Now, she reads it about once a week, and watches the movie at least once a week. Obsessive, much?

... kids is Charlotte's Web, the favorite of middle school kids is The Outsiders, and the favorite of high schoolers is To Kill a Mockingbird. I've read all but The Outsiders. I wanted to see what I'd been missing (...for the past 40 years or so)! :D

Quickly off the top of my head -- My Friend Flicka by Mary O'Hara To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee Rabble in Arms by Kenneth Roberts The Green Hills of Earth by Robert Heinlein Doomsday Book by Connie Willis

... think of any "worsts", offhand; guess I try to forget them as quickly as possible! But for best adaptation I would name To Kill a Mockingbird and The hunt for Red October; the latter was, to my mind, better than the book, in spite of Connery's relentless Scottish accent.

I have so many favorites that the term is almost meaningless, but To Kill a Mockingbird would definitely be in the top five.
