Question of the Week - Back to School Books
I can remember lying (or is it laying? I need to read more literature!) under the covers reading Gone With the Wind with a flashlight so as not to signal to my mom that I was awake long after my bedtime. My mother devoured books, so I think she must have known of my illicit activities, but only came in once to say "Midnight is late enough, young lady." Yes mothers really did talk like that when I was a child. I remember crying when I finished the book, not because of the ending, but because it felt as if I had been banished from a magical kingdom. I also loved Carson McCullers, especially The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Wonderful movie too. Speaking of movies, I saw Beccah named To Kill a Mockingbird as her favorite. I loved that book too and loved the movie just as much. It's rare when a movie lives up to the imagination but when it does it's frositng on the cake. Thank you for this wonderful website!
