    Love how you got your name Soda

    I've read Go Set A Watchman and I didn't really like it. It took some of the magic away from TKAM and I wasn't impressed by that. I love TKAM and the film of it is one of two B&W films that I will watch (the other is Some Like It Hot )

    I would suggest reading it if you want the full circle of Scouts life, but don't if you want to keep the magic of TKAM...

    RIP Harper Lee

    No judgement here. I'm a Diet Coke fiend.

    I don't think I will read Watchman. Even the synopsis that AG was kind enough to share was upsetting!

    Yeah. All of my friends who read Watchman didn't like it. As much as I enjoyed To Kill a Mockingbird, I'm skipping Watchman. Plus, the circumstances of its release are suspect.

    Well, I bit the bullet yesterday, and checked Go Set a Watchman out of one of my local libraries. I have to finish another book first before I read it. I'll probably quickly reread Mockingbird as refresher first.
