TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, by Harper Lee Published on this day - July 11, 1960
One of the most powerful books written on race relations, it won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1961. I think it would be hard to find many people who did not read this classic work. Since its publication, this book has never been out of print.
The book was adapted into a well-received movie starring Gregory Peck in 1962. It earned three Oscars - Best Actor for Gregory Peck, Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black and White, and Best Writing Screenplay based on another medium.
The sequel GO SET A WATCHMAN (which was actually the original title of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD) was published on July 14, 2015.
Happy reading,
Christine
