I picked up this 40th anniversary edition and started re-reading this best0loved story of all time in American Literature. Hail began to pelter my window as I turned to this page:
Next morning I awoke, looked out the window and nearly died of fright. My screams brought Atticus from his bathroom half-shaven. "The world's endin', Atticus! Please do something--!" I dragged him to the window and pointed. 'No it's not,' he said, "It's snowing."
One moment we had rain, the next the sun crawled out of the crevice among the clouds, then an ominous cold air enveloped the coffee shop, hail began to batter the zinc rooftop relentlessly.
What am I reading?

To KIll A Mockingbird?
Right on!
I just reread this a few weeks ago. Did you, by any chance, see Capote? I think that Dill may have been based on Truman Capote.
Yeah--I just read it for the first time this year. It was a wonderful book and the movie was quite good too (as of course I had to watch it then!).
Yeah I think so piksea - but I haven't seen the movie because I've been nuried in books! :o)
Shoot, and I was going to guess "Jewels" from Danielle Steel....
I didn't know Danielle Steel's been around for 40 years.
