May she Rest in Peace.

Loved 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. Fantastic read in school.

I shall finish with a quote from Homer J. Simpson:

"I'll have to read Marge's book. And I swore never to read again after 'To Kill a Mockingbird' gave me no useful advice on killing mockingbirds. It did teach me not to judge a man based on the color of his skin, but what good does that do me?"

Suppose a lot of people picture their own old grannies when they hear of someone that age passing away.

Christ, some of them died twice, it seems.

And in different places.

Now that's unlucky.

The Backwards Man

I wrote her a lettter in secondary school, asking her to write to my English teacher and tell her it's pronounced boo, not fcuking beau. She never replied.

RIP anyway.

Maybe there is some sort of tax scam involved or bigamy? :cool:

I did something similar, except it was my History teacher and he pronounced Joseph Stalin as Joseph Stallion. Joe never wrote back either, the dirty fecker. :mad:

Over twenty years later, and I'm still not over it. Imagine having an English teacher that didn't know the difference between an iconic reclusive hero of American literature and a character from the Dukes of Hazzard. . . .

My English teacher (who was pretty good in every other sense) had the annoying habit of pronouncing Neapolitan as "Nepal-ee-shan".

One of them was Roma, they don't stay in the same place too long. Even after death.

I'm one of those people who wait for a great writer to die before actually reading their book or books, sad I know. Maybe I should appreciate these writers more when they are alive.

mansize

I've never read TKAM

andekwarhola

I still maintain she should have faced criminal charges for being indirectly responsible for the Boo Radleys.

Shocking. The history teacher also once mixed up Vladimir Ilyich Lenin with Ivan Lendl - now Lendl did have a sour face on him at times, but I'm not really sure he deserved the comparison

Easca Peasca

Studied TKAM for Junior Cert. Our teacher went to the bother of acting out the accent of each character as he read it. He passed away a few months ago, actually.

Cracking book, great teacher.

'He would be there all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.'

Bah. You've ruined it now

The whole thing about releasing her 'second novel' (really a rejected manuscript/early draft) a year or so ago left a very bad taste. Exploiting an elderly ill woman to make money.

Always cheers me up.

Is the new novel she published last year any good?

Odd that as I was reading it yesterday when the news came in. " To Set A Watchman".. Nit sure to be honest. It does not have the immediate appeal of her first and is a deeper more thoughtful and slower book. Definitely not film material . Scout comes home aged 26 basically and things have changed...

Wait.

Is it or is it not pronounced Boo Radley?
