To Kill a Mockingbird book
Submitted by ortu (not verified) on Fri, 06/12/2009 - 4:31am.Rarely can you find someone who has read this novel and not enjoyed it. In fact, a 1991 survey by the Book of the Month Club ranked it second among books “most often cited as making a difference” (in the lives of readers). Guess what book was first? That’s right, the Bible.
