Well, that's true. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 25/05/2011 01:20:54 PM
I would bet that many Americans at least haven't read it in years and would find reading it now to be a different experience (an interesting point of discussion in itself). And from what I remember of the book clubs, people wouldn't have to read it again to participate if they didn't choose to.

There are tons of books that are more in need of attention and encouraging people to read them, is all.


I guess it depends on what the purpose is.
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

Huh. I seem to have missed that. Camilla - 22/05/2011 11:17:11 PM 1936 Views
As you noted, though, it's a fuller depiction of the South than "racist people." Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 12:00:01 AM 1923 Views
It's a beautiful, incredible book. Rebekah - 22/05/2011 08:21:48 PM 1866 Views

Don't you think that, you know, too many people have read it already? Legolas - 23/05/2011 09:55:52 PM 1903 Views

Does that disqualify it? Sareitha Sedai - 24/05/2011 01:49:54 PM 1840 Views
I don't know, if a lot of people want to have this book in a Book Club, I have no objections. Legolas - 24/05/2011 07:01:38 PM 1865 Views
Well, that's true. Sareitha Sedai - 25/05/2011 01:20:54 PM 1961 Views

Suspect he knows that. *NM* Rebekah - 23/05/2011 01:15:46 PM 982 Views
Boy, that sarcastic subtext can be so hard to grasp in this virtual madness. *NM* Panorphaeon - 25/05/2011 06:49:03 AM 984 Views
I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like this book. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/05/2011 09:37:52 AM 964 Views
So it survives being taught in school? Camilla - 23/05/2011 09:39:18 AM 1839 Views
Yup. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/05/2011 02:47:17 PM 977 Views
I've met some, but it was a casualty of middle school English. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/05/2011 07:40:27 PM 896 Views
One of my nieces didn't like it. I think it was because she was forced to read it for school. Tashmere - 24/05/2011 02:33:23 AM 2063 Views

Let me ask the politically incorrect questions, since no one else has. Tom - 24/05/2011 03:14:50 AM 2060 Views
I don't understand why having a guilty black man would have made it more powerful. Ghavrel - 24/05/2011 05:59:17 AM 2011 Views
Hmm Camilla - 24/05/2011 10:22:50 AM 1950 Views
I could see your argument if Tolkien were writing about feminism. Tom - 24/05/2011 02:15:42 PM 1962 Views
I think that's a fair point. Legolas - 24/05/2011 07:00:04 PM 1961 Views
Calpurnia is a stereotype too. Tom - 24/05/2011 11:54:26 PM 1876 Views
The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. Legolas - 25/05/2011 08:09:58 PM 1828 Views
Re: The difference, at least in my recollection, is that Calpurnia is well-educated. Camilla - 25/05/2011 10:59:26 PM 1923 Views
Yes. This. *NM* Tom - 26/05/2011 04:56:48 AM 889 Views
I think there was at least once incident showing a racist black person ßelals Girl - 24/05/2011 07:33:09 PM 2116 Views
Almost a non-incident Tom - 24/05/2011 08:51:59 PM 1738 Views
