Many readers shared stories of their first encounter with this important novel, and the affect it has had on their lives. The experiences discussed, and the breadth and depth of the impact felt, were as diverse as the disparate collection of readers listed. Along with the obvious considerations of race, class, and disability, were some rather personal and provocative conversations about wisdom, patience, humility, and the exploration of the existence of those whom either choose -- or, indeed, are condemned -- to live a life outside that which "society" considers to be the acceptable norm.
Thank you for celebrating Harper Lee’s beloved American novel with us! It was a privilege to share this reading experience with our community.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD READING JULY 17
Come read with us on July 17! Beehive Books will host a continuous reading of Harper Lee's classic novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," on Saturday, July 17 from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Anyone is invited to read aloud for 15 minutes, or just come listen, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary publication of the Pulitzer-prize winning novel.
A favorite of many of our customers, this book is about racial injustice and loss of innocence in a small Southern town during the Depression. While the subject sounds intense, the book is also graced with a lot of humor, particularly the young heroine's impressions of the Southern community where she lives with her attorney father and brother.
And there's a great element of mystery and suspense that will have you racing through the pages at the conclusion.
To sign up to read, call us at 740-363-2337 or email us at readers@beehiveat25.com.
