Hey Guys! Let's make every Saturday SUPER BOOK SATURDAY and talk about our very favorite books! I'll start! One of my favorite books is Harper Lee's masterpiece, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. When I taught (fifteen years at South Intermediate High School in Broken Arrow, OK!), I liked to begin the year by teaching this book to my sophomores. I LOVED LOVED LOVED reading it aloud. Scout's point of view was hilarious and touching and insightful. One of my favorite quotes is near the beginning of the book, describing the southern heat: "Ladies bathed before noon, after their three o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum."

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books. Towards the end, when Scout was realizing that Boo wasn't what people made him out to be, the line "we had given him nothing, and it made me sad" always tugs at my heart strings.
Critica - I love that last scene with Boo so much! When Scout takes his arm and lets him "escort" her to his house. Such a beautiful book...
Also love it never got the chance to study it though! one my fav classics has to be The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald and also (not a Classic) the Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls!
