To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee

I wish I could pull off this haircut.
This is one of those books everyone is shocked that I haven't read, which is a large number of books, actually. It makes sense that my southern Baptist school never assigned this to me, but oh my god. This was incredible and I don't know how long it would have taken me to read this if it hadn't been for this project. My dad gave this to me when he found out I hadn't read it, and I think I have to give it back to him now and get my own copy because I need it in my life. I don't know a lot about the reception/history of this novel, or anything about Harper Lee, really. But I knew this book was a Big Deal and that there was someone named Boo Radley and that's about it. So let's get into it!
