The first time I read this, I hated it.

The second time, I loved it.

Jammed with themes and ideas, but easy to read. While it's still not my favourite, I understand why it's a favourite for so many.

I am interested to re-read in light of Go Set a Watchman

I still can't say 'pork' without imagining the play director saying 'po-ork' as Scout is supposed to walk across the stage. ;)
