To Kill a Mockingbird
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee.
Revisited the classic and realized how little of it I had really understood when I first read it at the age of 16. Well-written, loving portrait of her father (Atticus). Skillfully combines themes of coming-of-age, racism and small-town life in deep South. Still, somehow it doesnt pack as large an emotional punch for me as I expected.
