"Jean Louise. Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing."
--William Walker, To Kill a Mockingbird, 1962
"Anne Shirley must learn to control her temper!"
--Paul Brown, Anne of Green Gables, 1985
Currently re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Since it's my favorite book ever written and I've only read it once, I decided that was just not right and it was time to rectify that. It's much funnier than I remembered. This time I'm less preoccupied with the question of why Harper Lee never wrote another novel. I mean, why mess with a good thing? Besides, where do you go from perfection?
But perhaps I should spend less time reading and more time learning to control my temper. I don't know what happens, I just can't seem to keep it under control....
