Harper Lee on Reading

One of my all-time favorite books is To Kill a Mockingbird, which I’ve written about my deep relationship with this novel in a short piece titled “My Summer with Scout Finch”. It originally ran … on AOL News on the 50th anniversary of the novels publication, but you don’t have to leave this blog to get to that rerun link. It’s the source of today’s quote, about reading:

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.” – Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Hope you have some great reading in store this weekend!
