Several weeks ago, the Twitter sphere was all abuzz with Susan Orlean’s hashtag #booksthatchangedmyworld. The New York Times, The New Yorker, and the National Post in Canada sat up and are taking notice. Me? No question: To Kill A Mockingbird. Atticus and Scout still remain my favorite characters in all fiction. His lack of prejudice, his love, and Scout’s spunkiness and curiosity for life, as well as her strong sense of self but eventual awakening to Boo’s true nature? Wow. My husband and I bought a copy on a recent trip to Scotland and took turns reading it outloud. When we got home, we watched the movie adaptation and loved the story all over again. What books changed your world and why?
