I really liked To Kill a Mockingbird even though I barely remember it.

I specifically remember really liking bud not buddy, but also remember very little about it

Oh my God, I've never seen any reference of this book anywhere. I read it when I was super young and couldn't understand anything except some of the racial stuff (I'm mixed), read it again as a teenager and was so glad I did. I don't want to touch it now and ruin the nostalgia but I really loved it as a kid.

I don't really ever hear anyone else talk about it either. I'm guessing it was picked by my teacher and wasn't a common book to read in school. Ms. Hoke was wonderful. I'm white but went to magnet schools so I was surrounded by folks of all different races and financial backgrounds as a kid, and that book was probably my first introduction to the idea that some folks treat others differently for the color of their skin
