well, i guess so. the most "quality literature" i have ever read is Gone With the Wind, which i am still reading now. a few more hundred pages to go. i've also read a lot of the cirriculum books at school even if not required such as the outsiders, house on mango st, etc.Iz Man wrote:No offense (well, maybe a little), but the ignorance of youth here at CC is astounding.
Both "To Kill A Mockingbird" & "Huck Finn" are both outstanding examples of quality literature; and film as well (as far as TKAM is concerned).
It's amazing how clueless the current "scholastic generation" can be at times.
Like I said........ no offense........

What do they teach you in school these days? If I had written a sentence like that my teachers would have torn me a second arsehole.
btw, To Kill A Mockingbird is an excellent book.

I completely agree with this, however, I would still consider myself a youth here at CC. I've read To Kill a Mockingbird twice, once in 6th grade(my dad wanted me to) and I liked it. Then we were forced to read it again in 10th grade and I liked it even more because my knowledge and opinions had advanced and I got a bit more out of it. We had to read Huck Finn last year in 11th grade and I thought it was quite an amazing piece of work, the subtle use of sarcasm makes it a rather funny read too.
