Classics and Movies! Oh My!

As we take on a new year, book club has become decidedly our own. While the first year seemed plagued by how-should-we-behave-at-a-book-club feelings, this year I think that the format of the club has become very specific to what we actually enjoy. Yes, we are different, but I think that we have agreed on a level of seriousness that we can all manage.

That said, I am eager to read books that I think many of us feel we should have read by now, but haven't gotten to. I also think that having the option of watching the movie rather than read the book every month will make it a lot easier for several people to participate, especially the ladies that are moms or moms-to-be.

I am just starting To Kill a Mockingbird, but am excited to see how different it is to read as an adult rather than a 14 year-old. Really, all I can remember about this book is the guy that sat next to me in class while we were reading it....
