Salute to Best Book

On World Book Day 2006 a survey of librarians named Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird the one book every adult should read before they die. Since this is my all-time favorite book, I had to let you know that librarians across the world agree with me! In brief this is the story of a poor black man of the Depression Era South who is accused of raping a white girl and the consequences for everyone in the small town who become involved. In depth it is the compassionate story of rural southern America, its people, its poverty, and its pride.
