..."Go Set a Watchman?"  I wanted to but I waited for the reviews and they led me to believe that I would be deeply disappointed.  To Kill A Mockingbird is in my top 5 favorite novels.  It was more whole than Huckleberry Finn (my flawed favorite) but not nearly as complex.

?Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ?Wow! What a Ride!? ~ Hunter S. Thompson

I won't read it.  It was a grab for money as the Times article says.  Harper Lee's first and only novel published was a work of art.  Put in the hands of money grubbing opportunists her name has been tarnished.  It ain't right >:(
