To Kill a Mockingbird

Last time I was selecting books down at my local library I spied To Kill a Mockingbird on the return trolley and having never got round to reading it, I picked it up.

My impressions previously mostly stem from seeing an Eisteddford style dance routine at one of those school spectaculars on TV – in other words – pretty sketchy – somehow the whole Mockingbird thing had passed me by and now – nearly aged 40 I felt I really should read it.

A duty book if you like.

Well I got out five or six books and of course this one was left to last – after two other paperbacks that I picked up in between as well. I knew a worthy read was in front of me but somehow reading a Pulitzer Prize winning novel and a novel voted best novel of the previous century by American librarians did not encourage me.

It felt a bit like school.

But eventually I had nothing left to read and the library were about to send me a reminder so I picked it up.

Can there be a greater pleasure than a well written book? Easy to read. Thought provoking. Brilliant word pictures.
