Remembering the Classics: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

There is a lot going on in the book world to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.  I was recently asked to share my memories of my first experience reading this book.  I remember discussions about the story and watching the movie as part of a class in high school, but I don't specifically remember reading the book.   In any case, its been on my TBR list for the last couple months as I try to broaden my horizons and take a second look at the classics. 

Many people who are taking part in the celebration have commented that like many other things in life, the experience is different the second time around.  Maybe its just that we're older and wiser and that we pick up on different nuances in the story.  Maybe its that we can appreciate it more.  I'll let you know when I find out as I plan to pick this one up soon. 

I'll ask you, what memories do you have of your first experience with  To Kill a Mockingbird?
