A photo of Harper Lee (born Nelle Harper Lee) who wrote "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1960) Her book second book (thought to be an original version of "To Kill a Mockingbird"), "Go Set a Watchman", was published in 2015.
To Kill a Mockingbird...... One of the few books I've read several times...... I love the book and I love the way she wrote it..... A True Classic book, and one of the best US 20th Century authors......Rest In Peace......
The worlds a sadder place without her. I bought a first edition of Go Set A Watchman when it first came out. I didn't care for it, it is not even remotely like Mockingbird, but I'm glad I bought it anyway.
Ed Strnad I don't think so. In her sequel ( or prequel, more correctly) it turns out that Atticus Finch was a racist after all! I've been reading Proust for years, and don't have time for other fiction.
She never expected the book to do well. I noticed to battle racism and bigotry the book is a mandate for reading in most high school, since the book's origin. Her work will live on for centuries, or at least until all people accept each other as one.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown.
