I'll take TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. I've been meaning to read that book for a while anyway.

I'm a librarian and a member of the American Library Association, and I had the opportunity to see Judith Krug, head of their Office for Intellectual Freedom, speak at a Harry Potter symposium I attended this summer. She had a lot of great insights to book banning and what we can do about it. Know that when a book is banned, the library is not behind it.

If anyone wants recommendations on books, I've read about 75% of what's on that list, and I'd be happy to rec you one based on your reading preferences.
