This weeks theme is famous and I can’t think of anything right now except for this book.
I think it’s famous – or well known at least.
Have you read it?
I just finished reading it again a couple of days ago.
The first time I read it was back in 10th grade because we had to as a class. But this time around I read it because I wanted too. I love the story. the humor, and how social issues are viewed through the lens of a young girl.
It’s a wonderful book.
Here are a couple of quotes from Atticus Finch – one of the main characters.
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
- spoken by Atticus Finch, by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."
- spoken by Atticus Finch, by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
I think we all need and Atticus in our lives.
For more famous visit Theresa who is hosting CV for Jane. Thanks Don for the theme.

This is a great book but it's been a long time since I read it. Time for a reread... thanks for the reminder.
I've read it and really enjoyed it, but it's been quite a few years. I'll have to dig it out and read it again.
No, but now I'll see if I can find it. Love the cover!
enticing introduction to a book unknown to me but for its famous title...
hmmm...I really need to sit down and read this book again.
I loved it, and I just ordered it so that I can read it again with my boys. I hope the cover will be just as nice as your copy:)
