The Finer Things ClubTo Kill A Mockingbird | Harper LeeTRIP THINKS THERE'S CHAPTERS WHERE NOTHING HAPPENS and Nick tells us some stuff about Atticus that makes us feel weird in the belly.
Join us for another high school classic with Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird," a book that makes you nostalgic for a time where women weren't allowed to be on a jury and a black man's word was worth nothing -- but also, the summers felt slow and people had lemonade on the porch every midmorning! Refreshing!

Be sure to join me next time when some friends and I read George Orwell's "1984" and upset ourselves over the state of our society. Also, by that time, I'll have better sound and a better intro, so things are looking up, my friends!
